About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Kelly's Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We are so happy with Kelly’s Preschool. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth. My son was really settled in beautifully—he looked forward to going every day and always comes home with a big smile. We’ve noticed such positive changes in his confidence, communication, and social skills. The preschool creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment that feels like a second home. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching start for their child.”

“Thank you to all the staffs at Kelly 's preschool for looking after my son. Two of my elder sons were ex students of this pre school and we really loved the care and affection given by the staff. When we moved the house, this pre school was quite far. So, I have enrolled my third son to the preschool closer to the home, but he was not settled there. There after, I tried three other preschools before he was enrolled in Kelly's. It was a magical experience and my son settled here in the first week itself. Staffs were very welcoming, friendly and caring. Farhana, the manager was very supportive and taking care of kids well. They were very flexible with our timing and have good understanding. Eventhough, my son missed many days due to sickness, he learned everything for his age from this pre school. I highly recommend this pre school . I am looking forward to enrol my girl in future. Thank you team, well done.”
