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 Little Cubs Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Such a lovely preschool, my daughter LOVES it here and has learnt so much since starting. She's connected with all the teachers and has made wee friends with the other kids too. Very grateful to have found Little Cubs 😊 (I was a bit anxious sending our first child to preschool, but the staff have made it a breeze). They have such a fun outdoor area and cool learning resources for the kids too!”
