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 My First Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“MyFirst Preschool is such a hidden gem. I love the smaller, more personal environment — with fewer children, the teachers can truly connect. When my daughter was still settling in, I often saw the teachers having warm one-on-one chats with her, giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. She’s blossomed here, and the teachers put so much thought into planning engaging activities every day. Recently, they’ve even added music sessions, where she has learnt to keep rhythm — such an unexpected delight. Highly recommended.”
“Such a great place. When Ryan was 3 years old in 2003 he started at Funkids when it first opened. At the start he was surrounded by girls! But that soon changed and he made some great boy mates too. He is now an auditor for KPMG and almost a fully qualified chartered Accountant. Thanks so much guys, for giving him a safe & happy place to start learning :)”
