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 Oma Rapeti Early Learning Centre Kumeu, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“The administration staff and teachers are all absolutely lovely and have so much patience and kindness towards the little humans here. My daughter has been attending in the burrow for a month now, and she’s thriving under Robyn and the other awesome room teachers. She always seems so happy and engaged, and I enjoy the regular updates of how she’s progressing. I feel like my daughter is being so well cared for. I’m looking forward to seeing her growth over the next couple of years”

“I honestly can't thank Oma Rapeti enough for the love, care, and support they gave my daughter while she was attending. Every time I think about our time there, I feel incredibly grateful — it truly felt like a second home for her. The center manager, Shannon Docherty, is an absolute angel. Her kindness, dedication, and warmth shine through everything she does. She made us feel welcome from day one and always went the extra mile to support both the children and the parents. All the teachers there are amazing — so nurturing, patient, and passionate about what they do. I always had complete peace of mind knowing my daughter was in such loving hands. Even after moving to Flatbush, we still miss everyone deeply — that’s how special this place is to us. A big thank you to all the teachers , who played such a positive role in my daughter’s journey. You are all superheroes in little disguises, and I’ll always be thankful for the beautiful start you gave my daughter. With heartfelt gratitude, Parul Joura”
