About Kindercare Learning Centres (Aotea)
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 Centres (Aotea), it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“There is nothing more daunting as a first time mum then leaving your precious child with someone else for you to return to work: but right from the first visit Kindercare Aotea felt like a second family. They are incredibly nurturing and supportive not only of our boy but also for us as parents. I would recommend to all.”
“One of the best daycare centre's in Porirua, I've had the privilege to have had my child and sibling attend there and they both love it!! Everyone there are very welcoming, approachable and informative and really on to it. I've always heard very good things about this exact daycare through other's experiences whenever I bring up this daycare and also agree 100% !! Everyone will probably have different experiences or opinions but I could not stress enough how much of a great impact this daycare has had on my child and his learning journey as well as his personal development.”
“By far the best centre in Porirua , both my children have been very happy to go Kindercare and the staff and management will always go the extra mile to cater to your child’s needs. Friendly , warm and welcoming centre.”
