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 Lollipops New Plymouth, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I have had my baby at Lollipops Lorna St since he was 3 months old. My transition back to work couldn't have gone smoother and I attribute this to the amazing staff at this centre. They are super accommodating and understanding, and take care of my son beautifully. They treat him like he's family and make me leaving him for a day of work really easy. I can rest assured, knowing he's in fantastic care.”
