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?

“I have been to other daycares in Kaikohe and as a mum with minimal awhi/support I feel like the teachers are like aunty’s and whanau they have taught me so much and also happily adjusted to try their best to cater to my child when they have needed it, and they are so tidy organized and thoughtful. We have been here for a year now I have had my youngest start at 7 months old and my eldest at 3 and they both love going to school and the teachers have relationship with you children they aren’t just another number. I cannot express how amazing they are. My babies don’t get sick and have weird skin conditions or bumps and bruises showing up out of nowhere. They are amazing. So professional but real people.”
