About Learning Adventures Takanini
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 Learning Adventures Takanini, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“This place is hands down a place I would trust my children with. Staff are really inclusive, patient and so hands on with the kids. They have a really great structure going on as a team, and as a service. The teachers are so great when it comes to the children’s learning environment and offer a ton of fun experiences for the kids. They are very welcoming, very open, friendly and kind. They’ve helped children transition so easily, and definitely leave an impact on their children that leave for primary. 100% recommend this place for anyone, even if you have doubts. Definitely a chance you don’t want to skip out and on.”
“Highly Recommend! Learning Adventures Takanini is one of the best early learning centers I have encountered. Firstly, they have an exceptional curriculum that caters for all types of learning and development a child needs. The teachers are amazing and have a very caring nature.The center Manager is often found on the floor assisting her staff, meeting and greeting parents regularly, and often seeking feedback for improvement purposes. Most importantly, a very nutritious meal is served at the centre.”
