About Marlborough Kindergarten
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Marlborough Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Marlborough AKA has been an entirely wonderful experience for our children. All the teachers love what they do, and their passion makes a marked effect both in how they relate with the children and how they build a community of young families. Our children adored attending, made long term friendships and were fully prepared to begin primary school.”
“Great environment for the kids, plenty of quality education and play. A nice balanced approach.”
“love the kindy”
“My daughter loved it here. And you could tell the teachers really enjoyed their job and cared for the children. Make sure you get your child on the waiting list when they are two years of age so you get a spot for them for when they turn three :)”
