About Kindercare Learning Centre Karori
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 Kindercare Learning Centre Karori, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The staff and teachers are very professional and friendly. They have a lot of activities for children’s learning & education development AND their communication is phenomenal. We get updates of our child’s day without having to ask. They use Kebudel so it’s been fantastic. Also the centre itself is beautiful, from the rooms to the play area to the outside car park. Very safe, well fenced & protected. They also provide meals 3x a day, so no need to worry about packing lunch. Their menu is also awesome. We’ve been with Busy Bees before and Holy Family and while they’ve been really good, Kindercare Karori is by miles the best out of the 3. Top tier, so glad we enrolled our toddler here.”
“Leaving your baby anywhere outside of home and whānau is a daunting experience, but Kindercare Karori have made it so much easier. The kaiako are brilliant, patient and caring as are the amazing staff who greet, feed and comfort our daughter. Our girl has flourished since joining a year ago, she comes home with new words, skills and smiles. Importantly, she loves going to kindy, we chant on the way in the gate in the morning and she kisses me and runs away to play on arrival. There is no better comfort then to know your child is so well cared for - thanks team.”
“Very happy with the quality of care and education our daughter received at KinderCare Karori. 5 stars.”
“Our daughter was with KinderCare Karori for 4.5 years. The care she experienced was second to none - she felt loved, safe and encouraged every day. She has made friends that she has taken into school years and her learning and development has put her ahead for where she needs to be in year one of school.”
“We started at Kindercare Karori after moving down to Wellington from P North. Our little boy joined the Tui Room and has enjoyed it, making lots of little friends and learning new skills. The Kaiako are so lovely and engaging with the children, planning activities that keeps them busy and learning. The food that is provided is yummy and healthy (veggie) and he seems to eat most of it which is great. Our little man will be staying till he moves on to school.”
