About Lighthouse Childcare
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 Lighthouse Childcare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My son absolutely shone at Lighthouse Childcare. He was always busy, engaged, and given so many opportunities to explore his interests. His teachers showed him so much love and support. This is where I really saw his confidence grow and where he began achieving so many milestones. Tanya is amazing, so supportive, so kind, and always willing to help in any way she could. I’m so grateful for the care and aroha my boy received. Highly recommend this centre!”
