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

“My daughter started her early learning journey with Little Seed when she was 18months. She is now over 3 years old. She learnt a lot from her teachers and I love all the activities the school - yoga, painting, crafts and arts, dancing, etc. I also love the fact that the centre is environmental-friendly with using cloth nappies and growing their own vegetables. Their centre cook is amazing too, feeding our little ones with healthy and delicious meals daily.”
“My daughter has been going to Little Seed for 1 year now. She absolutely loves it!! 🙌🏽 Going to work is easier knowing my girl is having fun and learning. Her last year before big school, I already know she's going to miss it. Acknowledgement to Francis, he is the new owner and he is doing great things for the kids and parents. Also the cook who goes above and beyond feeding our babies. Highly recommend.”
“My son has been at Little Seed for almost four years, and we are still happy with the choice we made to send him here. He loves the teachers and it is clear they care about the children. Healthy meals are provided, and reusable nappies when he was a baby, which takes so much hassle out of getting ready in the mornings. A real highlight is the photos and communication we receive everyday through Storypark.”
