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

Parent Reviews
“Such a beautiful community to have my daughter be a part of. You can feel the love and connection all the Kaiako have for the children and each other. I know my daughter feels safe and supported throughout the day. And as a family we are heard. Thank you for such kindness, care and happiness you all bring!”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this daycare. The teachers are absolute angels — so warm, patient, and loving. My kids settled in so quickly and now talk about them like family. It truly feels like a home away from home, and I’m so grateful to have found this place. From the very first day, we felt such a sense of comfort and warmth here. The teachers genuinely love the kids and it shows in everything they do — the smiles, the cuddles, the laughter. My little ones have blossomed in confidence and happiness. It’s such a blessing to have found a place that feels like family.”
“Liberty Montessori has been such a blessing for our family. Our son has had his struggles, but the incredible teachers have supported him with so much care, patience, and understanding. The homely, nurturing environment helps him feel safe and confident. We’re so grateful for the genuine care and dedication the team has put into our son’s growth and happiness.”
“We have recently moved our daughter to Liberty after feeling she was getting a bit lost at her bigger centre and it has been amazing to see such a difference in such a short time. The small home like daycare with teachers who are so calm and enthusiastic about early childhood development. They have been so warm and welcoming from daycare one and it is so wonderful to see my daughter engaged and happy from drop off to pick up (she often doesn't want to leave) Would highly recommend this daycare to any parent who is looking for a centre that will help their child grow and be seen”
“The moment you walk into Liberty Montessori it feels like home. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed. The teachers are very caring, supportive and personal. All the staff go the extra mile. My son loves going to school and never wants to leave. 10/10”
