About Li'l Champs Educare 2
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 Li'l Champs Educare 2, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I am incredibly pleased with the care my child receives at Lil champs Papatoetoe. He started his daycare since he was 10 months old and the staff are not only highly professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. The environment is clean, stimulating, and full of engaging activities that support my child's development. I appreciate the open communication and the daily updates on my child's progress through story park. It's clear that Punitaji, Eunite & team is dedicated to creating a nurturing and safe space. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a trustworthy and enriching place for their child.”

“An email from a happy customer: Ever Since my daughter has started at Li'l Champs, I feel the teachers have not only welcomed her into the centre but also my family. They always acknowledge us as soon as we enter the centre with a warm welcome. Halo comes home everyday showing or telling me about something she has learnt. She shows me these things by being more independent at home. She comes up with new words or questions that I never thought she would ask and I believe she has learnt a lot of these things from her teachers. In Li'l Champs philosophy it mentions that teachers will be around to support every family in up bringing of their child and I believe that centre has done that and continues to do so everyday. The parent portal is also a great idea as I look forward to getting emails from the centre as it keeps me updated on my daughters everyday learning and I enjoy seeing the photos and reading what they learnt. Sent via email From Leondra Jones (mother of Halo)”
