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

Parent Reviews
“We have just started our 2 yo son there and he’s settled so quickly! Three weeks in and he’s asking for T after he gets home. Really lovely environment. I think it’s very cool. They have chickens and their own veggie garden to teach the kids good habits.”
“My daughter thrives in the inclusive, warm environment of Matakana Village Preschool. The staff are passionate about creating as much fun and adventure as the kids can take and I can already see such wonderful friendships forming. We feel very lucky to have this as our local, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this preschool for those looking for a gentle and fun environment.”
“Highly recommend Matakana Village Preschool! My daughter absolutely loves her time there and has formed very special bonds with her teachers and peers. I know that she will be safe and cared for every minute of the day and she has so much fun. I have never seen her happier :)”
“Matakana Village Preschool is a lovely boutique Centre. The teachers are amazing- they really care about the children and the ratios are great. There’s plenty of space indoors and outdoors, and lots of different activities available through the day.”
“My partner and I visited Matakana Preschool on their open day earlier this year and fell in love! Vibrant skilled staff, warm welcoming manager who answered all our questions, wonderful layout of the centre incorporating garden to table, natural resources, cosy play spaces, and an awesome philosophy that aligns with what we want for our little girl. Can't wait to enrol our little one when we move back up! 🥳”
