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 Maungatapu Preschool 2025 Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Recently enrolled my daughter and the process has been amazing! The staff are so kind and informative. I was nervous about whether my daughter would handle it and they were super supportive and kept me informed the whole time. Facilities are great and food looks yum. My daughter has the best time and is well looked after. Manager is lovely and happy to answer any questions. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“We've recently enrolled out third child at Maungatapu Preschool, and wouldn't consider anywhere else. We live in the Kaimais and work in town, so it's not on our way to or from anywhere, but it's worth the extra time and effort to have fantastic teachers and a brilliant environment for all of our children.”
“Both my kids have had great care and love poured upon them by these exceptional staff. Very clean facilities, well cooked food, best day care I had used!”
“As a working mother i was horrified with how i was treated by the manager , picking up my daughter 2 minutes late had been there 3 days and was verbally attacked in frount of my child absolutly disgusting behaviour to display in a daycare . I think many clocks are a few minutes difference . On a positive note The teaching staff were great and clean and tidy facilities , its a shame the manager was so nasty towards me i left after day 4 and didnt have to give notice very stressful for my child having yet another change and i had just started my new job 30 seconds down the road.😕”
