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

“Learning Star Preschool is one of the best centers my son has been to. From the moment you speak to Farhana you will instantly feel reassured & content that your child will be okay. All the teachers are nurturing, kind, compasionate towards the children & I witnessed this firsthand with my child. They also send you updates if not daily so you are always at ease. My boy has had the best time at the center that he will cry to go in even when is unwell. I also have my 6month old newly enrolled & feel so confident that he will be taken off well. Thank you so so much Farhana & your team!”

“Learning Stars Preschool is not only a childcare centre, it is a HOME away from home for my children. We have been part of Learning Stars since 2019 and can't thank the amazing staff for everything they do for my kids. All the teachers have been so loving and caring throughout...with a welcoming smile on their faces everytime we enter the centre. I couldn't be more happier to know that my kids are in the safest hands. My girls have made beautiful bonds with all the teachers of LSP. It almost brings tears to my eyes to write this, but the way teachers interact with my girls is incredible and sincere. We feel very fortunate have found such a warm and wonderful daycare..the superb management, dedicated staff, combined with fun and educational curriculum has truely made a positive impact on overall development of my kids. We couldn't imagine our girls going anywhere else. Highly recommended.”
