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 Manurewa Early Discoveries Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My boy was there about 7 months in there, and they took care of him very well. Friendly teachers, also they do pick-up drop-off service for morning session. Only in the first month we felt a bit pressure to change to full-time one, one of teacher asked me same question and I had to explain a couple of times why we wanted to do only the morning session. But my boy was very happy to be part of them. Thank you.”

“My daughter Kayla start here when she passed her 3 years old. The centre and teachers gave us a lot of warmth, familiar, kindness and friendly. I love the centre and teachers so much as they gave us feel like family when we come to drop off the children. I introduced my friend to bring her son there afterwards and he love the place and teachers and environment so much, his mum said she tried many places he didn’t want to stay and cry and want to back home every time drop and pick him. He became my daughter best friend now, they are getting along every day with a lot of fun at school. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️💖🌼🌸 I highly recommend this centre to everyone who need to look for a good local daycare,…”

“My two children LOVE it here! They learn so much and have gained so many new friends that they rave on about in high regard. The teachers are so beautiful in the way they teach and nurture our children. Since attending this childcare centre my babies have excelled so much in general, from the way they communicate to singing songs and even reading/familiarising themselves with particular words and spelling. It's been amazing to watch the staff here implement everything that's done at home and even taught me ideas, as a solo Mum, on what else I can do, just by seeing how much my babies enjoy the work and play they do here at Early Discoveries. My neice and nephews have attended in previous years and have only amazing and treasured memories of the place. From previous staff to new staff employed, they all have the same nature about them and genuinely work together to aim for the best start our babies can have before heading off to big school. I would reccomend this centre 100% to any parent wanting the best, love felt environment for their children, where they have firm attentive teachers/carers who balance your child's experience with freedom to explore, to learn and have fun!”
