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 Love and Joy Early Learning Centre Limited, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We truly recommend Love and Joy! Li has been such a great help to our family. Always kind, understanding, and supportive. All the teachers are very caring and made my little girl feel so loved every day. She especially misses Teacher Merry, she still mentions her every single day and keeps asking to come back to Love and Joy. It’s really hard for her to move on because she had such a wonderful time there. Thank you so much for giving her the best early learning experience! 💕”
“My daughter started Love and Joy a week after she turned one. She is 19 months now.We can see how much her language has developed over the last few months. She can speak so well and clearly although we are bilingual. She sings most of the rhymes with actions. She has become independent sleeping , eating and also can solo play if needed. She is very social and interactive with people she meets. We have also noticed that she cleans up after play and puts things back in her place. Thanks to Lee and her team of amazing, caring and nurturing teachers. They make sure that the child has eaten, slept and well looked after. Also, my son who is now in school went to Love and Joy . Excellent day care. Highly recommend!”
“Our daughter has attended Love and Joy Early Learning Center for about two years and she had a great learning experience. We as parents were quite satisfied with her journey at this service. This purpose built facility is relatively new and is well equipped to cater for children learning experiences. All teachers have been very supportive in developing childrens social competence and overall learning. Kudos to Li and team for looking after children so well.”
“Both my kids absolutely love going to Love & Joy! The teachers are incredibly caring and form strong, positive bonds with the children, creating a warm, happy, and safe environment. It’s a vibrant, multicultural setting where kids make friends, explore, and learn to appreciate and respect different backgrounds. The daily activities are fun, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, helping my kids grow socially, emotionally, and creatively. The fees are very reasonable for the high quality of care provided. I couldn’t recommend Love & Joy more!!!”
“What a amazing daycare. My son was with love and joy for the past two years. And he loved it so much. He started going at a different DayCare at the beginning but He was being picked on and bullied by other kids,He was so scared to even enter the daycare gates. Crying banging his head everywhere on the wall even in the car. It was a nightmare.I had to pull him out. Just within 2 weeks I found love and joy and I went to visit them and I could see my son going inside the class and trying to pick toys up and play with them. First two weeks was abit hard but But within time I could see.He made a lot of friends there.He just love it.. And the teachers Are JUST AMAZING.They would pick my son up hug him,love him. The best thing teachers will sit around with the kids at lunch time (tea time) and make sure they eat. Overall my experience with them were amazing I could say so many changes In my son's life. They made my son love school so much he is in Year 1 and he loves it he loves to go to school. They are one of the best Daycare in Mount Roskill Thank you so much to the team at love and joy. And all the very best.”
