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 Kids Count ECE Marne Rd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

She really thrives at the centre and attends 5 half days each week. Everyone is super friendly and management are very informative and always there to help. We are excited to See our daughter grow in the coming years with the input from This amazing daycare.”
“The most amazing daycare, my boy has been here for 3 years. He is in his final year before he heads to big school and I’m sad already. His teachers are like our extended family and they love him like their own. He has learnt so much and I’m so confident that he will be school ready. I wouldn’t have my boy anywhere else xxxxx”
