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

Parent Reviews
“Mountainside has the most amazing team & space that make you feel so comfortable to leave your precious little ones in their care. Our boy loved the Awa Ruma from age 1 & is now thriving in the Maunga Ruma. We look forward to having our younger son join them too. Could not recommend enough! Bonus - no making lunches!”
“Wonderful team, caring and fun :)”
“Absolutely love Mountainside! Our little one runs in every morning eager to see his kaiako and friends. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming and have created and amazing environment for little ones. They always have new activities and games ready for them; every day brings a new learning opportunity or experience. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for daycare.”
“We absolutely love Mountainside, we were very lucky to get space for our 2 toddlers after relocating. Mountainside has been a nurturing fun environment where the kids feel safe to challenge their minds and bodies and grow in a supportive caring space with wonderful teachers who constantly go over and above.”
“The smile on our son’s face at pick up says it all. What a stand out daycare with a team of beautiful human beings who genuinely have our little one’s best interests at heart. I highly recommend Mountainside Educare, it is a very special place!”
