About Laugh and Learn
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 Laugh and Learn, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

The teachers are caring, loving and incredibly talented and not to brag but the owner of the center is nothing but amazing! A second mummy to my kids and all of them there too! They are setting our kids up for success, the things the implement for the kids learning is honesty hands down phenomenal!!”
“My 3.5 year old boy has been attending Laugh and Learn Childcare Ltd since it opened. The centre location and facilities is fantastic including a great range of interactive engaging, educational toys and activities. Delicious healthy home made meals provided. The Manager and teachers are truly exceptional - they all display extremely high levels of dedication, care, teaching knowledge and interest levels in each and every child (including to the siblings that come to do pickup and drop off! ;) Brillant centre that I would strongly recommend.”
“The most amazing center there is! Cannot recommend Laugh and learn enough! My kids have always been happy here and all the teachers are amazing, caring and help the children with their learning and play. Prior to my son being enrolled at Laugh and learn he was at a different centre and I can honestly say laugh and learn exceeds all expectations, so good knowing my kids are well cared for while having a fun day! Thank you!”
“We love Laugh & Learn and so does our son who started as a young baby and is now growing into a smart, happy boy thanks to the support and education he receives from the centre. He has such strong bonds with his teachers and it warms my heart to see how happy he is there everyday. It is a small centre and the kids are all so close and have a ball there. I already have my baby on the wait list to start in a years time. Could not fault the staff, facilities and care provided! An amazing little centre to send your kids.”
“Laugh and Learn is hands down the best centre in East Auckland. My little boy has attended since he was 7 months and soon will be 5! All the staff have the most beautiful bonds with the children, they love on them like their own, make sure they are safe, and support all us parents in any way needed. Tania has created a beautiful space and she puts 100% into every aspect of the centre and the children. The education provided is above the normal and my son comes home daily telling me about all the things he has learned. They are culturally inclusive and really we are all like a family. If you are looking for a centre where you want your baby to be safe, loved, fed and happy - this is the place to be ”
