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 Massey Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Massey Kindy has been a great fit for our boy who joined in 2023. At first it was a big adjustment but the Kaiako here are amazing and always go above and beyond to make a kid feel safe and loved while there. My child has thrived at Massey Kindergarten and is always beaming upon school pick up. Massey kindy is culturally inclusive and extremely whanau oriented by actively involving whanau in any celebration or event they hold. There are not enough words to express my gratitude towards this kindy and the team of Kaiako who are extremely amazing collectively as well as individually.”

“We found this amazing kindergarten through a family friend from church, 4 years ago. We started with our eldest child, who's now in primary school. Now our middle child is currently attending here, and our youngest baby will start his education journey here, too, in the coming weeks. We've built such a wonderful and positive relationship with all the kaiako at this awesome kindy. They're all such amazing, hardworking, and so kind and caring for all the little ones under their care. We love and trust this learning space for our children, and 100% recommend it to anyone looking for the right start for your little ones educational journey. We as a family are super grateful to be a part of the Massey Kindergarten Whanau🙏🏽”
