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?

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 Tawa, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our family has had a really positive experience with Kindercare Tawa, my son has been coming here for 18 months since the age of 1. He has a great connection with all his kaiako, they have been excellent with scaffolding our sons learning and in all their communications with us. I trust that my son feels safe and loved in their care. Our family has been through some change lately with baby #2 on the way, and kindercare have made us feel extra supported in navigating the transition into maternity leave and to being a 2 child family. They have made sure that kindercare continues to be a safe and consistent space for my son. I have been super impressed with Kindercares support lately, I can feel how much they care about what is best for our family and our son. Thanks for everything, Kindercare! I'm excited to see how my son continues to grow and thrive under your care :)”

“Kindercare Tawa is amazing and the best daycare we have experienced so far, they made transitioning daycares so easy and ensured our daughter was welcome and settled in so quick. All the staff have been great and so kind, always get a warm welcome when dropping off, communication from everyone has been the best. The teacher ratios are great and the way the rooms have been split ensure all ages are catered too well. Our daughter has gone from being unsettled and unhappy at daycare to being excited everyday to go and so comfortable with her teachers who really care about her. Anyone looking for a daycare or a change from another provided I would definitely recommend getting in touch and having a visit.”
