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.

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 Luna Montessori Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We absolutely love this preschool! From the very beginning, we felt like we were joining a warm, supportive family. The teachers here are truly something special — so compassionate, gentle, and incredibly caring. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and cherish each and every child who walks through the door. Our child has grown so much since starting here — not just in learning, but in confidence, independence, and kindness. It’s amazing to see how the Montessori method is used in such a thoughtful and respectful way. The children are encouraged to explore at their own pace, and their individual strengths are truly celebrated. What touches us the most is how the teachers take the time to truly understand each child. They listen, they guide with so much patience, and they create such a calm, loving space where kids feel safe, seen, and joyful. Every day our little one comes home excited to share what they’ve learned — and that joy says it all. I had the chance to join one of their outings to the Auckland Zoo, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for the love and effort the teachers put into everything. The way they carefully arranged the day, while making sure each child was safe, happy, and engaged, was incredibly moving. I was especially touched during the graduation day — there was such a bittersweet feeling in the air. You could sense the sadness of saying goodbye, but also the pride and excitement as the children prepared to take their next big step into “big school.” We’re so grateful to be part of this beautiful community. It’s more than just a preschool — it’s a place filled with love, where children are truly nurtured as they begin their journey.”

“Our daughter Evlyn has had a truly wonderful journey at Luna Montessori over the past two and a half years. From the very beginning, the environment felt warm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed to support each child’s individual growth. The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated, patient, and caring — they have played such an important role in Evlyn’s development. We have seen her grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence. She has learned so much, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. The Montessori approach at Luna has helped her develop a strong sense of responsibility, creativity, and a genuine love for learning. We are especially grateful for the way the educators consistently communicated with us and involved us in Evlyn’s learning journey. It’s clear that the team truly cares about each child’s wellbeing and progress. Thank you, Luna Montessori, for being such a big part of Evlyn’s early years. We will always cherish the memories and milestones she achieved here. Warm regards, Mathew & Megha”

“As a parent, choosing the right childcare center is one of the most important decisions I have ever made. After extensive research and numerous visits to various facilities, I found Luna Montessori to be an absolute gem. My experience with this center has been nothing short of exceptional, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff at Luna Montessori is truly outstanding. They are not only highly qualified and experienced but also genuinely caring and nurturing. It is evident that they are passionate about what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children. The center places a strong emphasis on both educational and social development, ensuring that the children are well-prepared for the next steps in their educational journey. What sets Luna Montessori apart is its commitment to safety and cleanliness. The facility is always spotless, and the safety protocols are stringent, giving me peace of mind that my child is in a secure environment. The outdoor play area is spacious and well-maintained, allowing the children to enjoy plenty of fresh air and physical activity. Communication with parents is another area where Luna Montessori excels. They keep us informed with regular updates about our child’s progress, daily activities, and any important announcements. This transparency helps build a strong partnership between parents and caregivers, ensuring that we are always on the same page regarding our child's needs and development. Though our stay in Luna Montessori is quite short, we are truly grateful with your patience, gentle care and commitment to our child. Thank you so much Ms Faye and to all your staff. We will truly miss you and will keep in touch.”
