About Kidsfirst Kindergartens Hargest Crescent
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 Hargest Crescent, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Best Teachers, they are all nice, kind and caring ....”
“Our boy Teddy LOVES this kindergarten. Kind and caring teaching team (award winners! 🫶🏼😉), natural spaces - including a huge outdoor area and adjoining garden to work in, low numbers - never seems crowded or hectic, inviting / welcoming feel, sense of community (be as involved as suits) and multicultural. I highly recommend visiting this kindy in person. 💓”
“This is a truly magical place for little ones to learn and grow! The teachers are exceptional, its abundantly resourced and the playground feels like a big backyard - with grass, trees and veggie patches. I couldn't recommend highly enough. I just wish... I could stay and play all day!”
