About Mill Street Early Learning
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 Mill Street Early Learning, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The team at Mill Street Kindergarten are truly passionate about children and their education, no child is treated as a number or a dollar sign. All children are encouraged to be themselves and the team celebrate each child's uniqueness, they are not expected to fit into a predetermined mold. They are offered ample opportunities to explore the world around them. The children are encouraged to try new things, with love and support from the staff and other children. No child is pushed to do something they are not happy about, everyone's choices are respected. It is a truly nurturing and welcoming environment for both children and their families. I only wish I had have put my children in their care sooner :)”
