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 Mighty Minds Educare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“If you are looking for daycare that feels like an extended family for your little one, this is it! I visited every daycare in the area when deciding where to enrol my 6 month old baby, but it was a no brainer once we visited Mighty Minds. All the staff and teachers at Mighty Minds are so compassionate, kind, creative and confident in taking care of the little ones. They are always sending photos and stories of my baby which is just the best thing to recieve in the day. Genna the chef prepares a variety of healthy foods and has really guided my son into being an amazing eater. I can't rate Mighty Minds enough :)”
