About Kirwee Treehouse Early Learning Centre
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 Kirwee Treehouse Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We have 2 daughters there. One in the Koru room and another in the Totara. Across all the classrooms it is the same welcoming approach. The teachers always greet us and our kids. They often give feedback and updates as we’re leaving too. Our kids had a period of being there fulltime and never complained as that loved the teachers, environment and activities. Not to mention the amazing, yummy and healthy food provided. So happy knowing our girls are there. No complaints from us!”
“We are so happy we found this preschool! Our son is 2 and had been to two other centres before this, and we never quite felt like he found his place. But from the moment he started here, everything changed. The teachers are incredible – they genuinely care and treat him like one of their own. The communication is amazing and we always feel involved in his day. The food menu is also a huge bonus, with real, healthy meals that he actually loves! He has come out of his shell, is excited to go each morning, and we’ve seen so much positive growth in him. This centre has such a warm, welcoming feel and you can truly tell they love what they do. If you’re looking for somewhere your child will be cared for, understood, and thrive – this is the place. Highly recommend to any family considering joining!”
“From a 1 year old (starting in Feb 2022) to an almost 5 year old (finishing Feb 2026) - the team have been a fantastic addition to the early years of my boy's life. He has always loved the Tree House and all the teachers he has had over the years. Online updates we get about their growing and learning really assures a parent how fulfilled our children are. I do have to say though, Michelle, the Tree House chef has been a constant favourite for Wyatt and I need her recipes for his appetite ;)”
“Just the best centre! From the teachers to the delish food. The treehouse is the perfect place for your child.”
“My 4-year-old boy has been at Tree House for just over a year. He loves going and has grown so many friendships. The teachers are caring and attentive. They are always looking for ways to engage the kids, most recently throughout a dino hunt around the centre.”
