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 Kidditech Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We love Kidditech! We have been with them about 7yrs (3x kids) and they have been amazing. Lou and the crew have really helped our kids thrive in a professional, supportive, fun and engaging environment. Can't recommended them enough, they feel like a 2nd family to us.”

“Enrolling my 3-year-old at Kidditech has been an incredibly positive experience. Like any parent, I was a bit nervous about how he would adjust to a new environment, but the caring and supportive staff made the transition so smooth. From the very first day, the teachers were warm, patient, and attentive, ensuring he felt safe and comfortable. They took the time to understand his needs and interests, helping him build confidence in his new surroundings. Within just a few weeks, I noticed a huge improvement in his social skills, independence, and excitement to go to the centre every morning. The play-based learning approach has been fantastic—he comes home talking about all the fun activities, new friends, and even the big gold fish he look at. It’s clear that the educators at Kidditech truly care about each child’s development and well-being. I’m so grateful for the wonderful environment they’ve created, making this all an enjoyable and stress-free experience for both my child and myself. I highly recommend Kidditech to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging early learning experience! Jas 😊”

“Kidditech and the whole team are incredible. It really is that simple. We’re so glad we found them. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for my kiddo and our family. After a difficult experience at my child’s first preschool they have completely restored my faith in preschools and the people that work in them. They have helped us in so many ways with our child and his development. Consistently go over and above. We love them. Highly recommend!”

“The team at Kidditech are incredible. My little girl came from another centre where she could not settle. They have gone above and beyond to ensure she settles and have been an amazing support to my daughter and I as we went through a difficult transition period after a traumatic time for us both. My daughter adores all of the team and with their help is a different wee girl to the one that started at Kidditech a year ago. The offer an incredible range of activities and learning opportunities. I am so thankful and grateful to them for the support and care they have provided to me as a parent throughout this time.”

“We chose Kidditech on recommendation from another family and it was the best decision we could have made for our child. It’s not easy leaving your child with other people and I found the staff helped ease the transition for me amazingly. I had previously tried an alternative environment but withdrew her as she was not ready, after waiting some more months we found Kidditech, I was at first apprehensive but the staff made the transition a positive experience for us all. I highly recommend this school with great staff to child ratio, wonderful experiences and the great care provided.”
