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

“My son has been attending Kohimarama Montessori for almost 2 years now and he is thriving under the guidance of the wonderful teachers at the preschool. He is well engaged in the learning opportunities which are offered to him at his own pace, and I am frequently surprised at his capabilities! He also enjoys the outdoor play area and has plenty of opportunity for exploration and discovery. Would definitely recommend to any families considering this preschool.”
“We love Kohi Montessori! The teachers go above and beyond for the children and the ratios are nice and low. My daughter loves the big outdoor area where I see all the kids running round, playing tag, soccer, sprinklers in summer, playing on moon-hoppers, and more. They also prepare the children for school with skills like writing their names, teaching independence and sending home little readers. I highly recommend to all.”
