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?

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

The teachers and Centre Director Cheryl are wonderful. Highly recommend. A big thank you to Miss Grace, Joy, Ivy and Pearl and all the teachers for being the most incredible teachers and for all the time and investment you put into each child. Very grateful.”

“We've been with Mighty Minds for almost 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My little one is learning so much, with a great balance struck between playing and education. The teachers and administration are highly communicative, with an all-around happy environment. Since we started, we have moved suburb and the one place we're not moving is childcare - the high standard is absolute gold dust.”

“I had a disappointing experience with this center. During a phone call, the representative Cindy’s attitude was notably impatient and unwelcoming. Despite understanding that short-term enrollments might not be preferred, I expected a more professional and friendly approach, especially when dealing with potential new families. Additionally, I was informed that there is no difference between the toddler and preschool rooms, which did not align with what I was looking for. As a parent, having clear and supportive communication is crucial, and unfortunately, this centre did not meet those expectations.”

“My son has been at Mighty Minds Early Education Center for a year now. The teachers here are incredibly patient and friendly, and they pay close attention to the growth of each child. What is particularly impressive is the center's manager, Cheryl. She knows the development of every child in the certer and communicates actively with parents. No matter what issues we encounter during the parenting stage, she always has scientific methods to help us, which gives us great peace of mind.”
