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 Next Generation Birkenhead, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Please address the drop-off traffic issue. It is not acceptable to block the footpath, as this forces pedestrians onto the road. This is especially dangerous during busy school drop-off times when children are on scooters and bikes. This has been observed on multiple occasions, and I will be raising the matter with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport.”
