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

“I can’t rate Kindy Totz and the amazing teachers here highly enough. We transitioned our daughter from another centre mid last year. The teachers at Kindy Totz are friendly and welcoming and plan the most incredible, engaging and fun activities for the kids. They encourage early literacy and numeracy skills as well as independence and routine. An amazing place to set children up for school.”
