About Natural Wonders Early Learning Centre
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 Natural Wonders Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My eldest daughters (now 11 and 9) both attended this kindy and absolutely loved it. My 2-year-old son is there now and loves it too, and my baby boy will probably attend once he turns 2. The teachers are amazing, caring, and create such a fun, supportive environment. I really appreciate how the centre is always kept clean, tidy, and organised. After many years of experience with this kindy, I can honestly say it’s the best in town (not that we’ve tried anywhere else, lol!).”
