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.

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 Living & Learning Family Centre Henderson, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“It was daunting for me trying to find the right childcare for my son. Living and Learning stood out to me as the the staff were very professional as well as genuinely caring and kind. There are plenty of resources available for the children to learn, play and grow. The environment is beautiful with lots of trees and bushes which is quite unique. I feel confident dropping my son off, knowing he will get as many cuddles as he needs and looked after to the highest standard. Thank you to all the lovely staff at Living and Learning, you are all wonderful🙂”
