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 Kingsway Preschool Snells Beach, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughter LOVES this preschool and her incredibly loving teachers. As she soon heads off to school, she has been setup for success with plenty of school ready skills, confidence in writing and counting and a love of learning and creativity. I can’t recommend it highly enough!”
“First of all the teachers are so lovely, understanding and very professional. My daughter enjoys all the activities they put out for the day. Outdoor play area is great. They have half days and full days. Great job team keep it up.”
“My daughter has been attending Kingsway Preschool in Snells Beach for 9 months, and from the very first day felt comfortable and welcomed. She is always excited to go, and the teachers are all so warm, friendly, professional, positive, calm, and very engaging. They do an amazing job of keeping a balance between allowing the children to play freely (in the fantastically resourced indoors and outdoors) and teaching them/supporting their learning. I am so happy with my decision to send my daughter to Kingsway.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the staff and with the lovely welcome that my daughter received when she started at the beginning of the term. She settled in very well due to the hard work and loving temperaments of the teachers, they speak so kindly and warmly to the children. I can go to work knowing that my little girl is loved and cared for while we’re apart.”
“Amazing! The teachers are extremely friendly and professional. My son looks forward to going there every day. Kids who may be apprehensive at first will quickly adjust, as the staff will lovingly reassure them every day. It’s a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop him off every morning-he will be well-taken care .”
