About Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“When we first settled in Christchurch, we visited many preschools. We finally chose Kindercare Avonhead because I felt the children there were very happy and well-behaved. Now that we’ve been here for four months, my daughter really enjoys it. The teachers are very professional and caring. They regularly communicate with me about my child’s progress and also share helpful tips on how I can support her learning at home—for example, how to read books with her in an engaging way.”
“This Kindy is just amazing. My son is just so happy and excited every time he goes to kindy. The teachers are great and friendly. Whenever I drop my son off or pick him up it hust feels so comfortable and easy. I would suggest this kindy over and over best one i have ever experienced by far.”
“I have six kids ranging form 22 to 3 and five of them have gone here.. if you want your kids to have fun and learn to be themselves this is the place to go. 💯😎”
