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 Links Childcare Hector Drive, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We have had a wonderful experience with learning links. All of the teachers were quick to welcome our girls and make us feel like part of the family. Our girls have new experiences every day and are always excited to share what they did that day.”
“The best kindergarten All the staff are very nice and friendly. My son was there and stayed there until he was five years old. My daughter is still there and she has been there since she was one year old and now she is four years old. I highly recommend it.”
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional teachers who engage children with captivating ideas and effective teaching methods. I am deeply grateful for the support my grandson received. I highly recommend this wonderful team and their excellent indoor and outdoor play areas. A visit would be most welcome; a lovely receptionist (and teachers) will gladly show you around. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“When we moved into the neighbourhood and looking for child care options for our daughter, Learning Links Hector Drive was the place that was highly recommended. When we went to enquire, Andrew ensured that all our questions around our child's care was well answered which helped us decide to enroll our daughter there. Every day has since been a treat as we are glad with the care our daughter gets along with the learning from the wonderful ECE teachers there. I can see that my daughter is well supported in her journey and encouraged to form her own personality. The centre is well connected with the local community by organizing famaily days, visits to nearby retirement village and local library which bring joy to the kids and community members alike. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for child care in Rototuna.”
