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 Omokoroa Pre School, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The staff at Omokoroa Preschool are simply lovely. From the moment you enter, you can sense the positive energy. My 3 year old Autistic granddaughter settled in straight away. Staff were very accommodating and gave her space to explore. She loves attending her sessions.”
“Having two kids at Omokoroa Preschool has been great - my kids settled in well with teachers and staff welcoming them, helping and supporting them through the transition. My kids really enjoy the activities at daycare especially when they get to play on the big field. A highlight this year was the Matariki concert for families to enjoy. As parents we love getting the updates and photos online - and being able to talk to our kids about these experiences. Thanks for a great year.”
“My wee girl was a stage 5 clinger from birth so I wanted to enrol her somewhere to help her blossom and gain confidence in knowing she could be ok without mum and learn to form her own relationships. She has made the most amazing leaps and bounds in exploring new surroundings, building her own friendships and enjoying all of the amazing facilities and activities. We absolutely love the Omokoroa Preschool family and can’t recommend it highly enough!”
“My son has been at Omokoroa Preschool since October 2020 (he has previously attended 2 other preschools) and he absolutely loves it! I would say it is definitely his favourite. He asks every single day if he can go because he loves it so much. He has absolutely thrived since starting and we have noticed how quickly he is learning new skills. The teaching staff are amazing and go out of their way to ensure all my sons needs are met as well as catering to his interests. The food that is provided is excellent and I know my son is getting nutritious meals that he also finds very tasty. I would highly recommend Omokoroa Preschool to anyone. My son loves attending and the environment is always so welcoming and homely.”
“My daughter just started here about a month ago, so I was worried she might have a hard time fitting in to a new daycare, but the teachers made us both feel so welcome its been great. I'm excited to see my little girl flourish making friends and its a center that really makes you feel comfortable leaving your child there. I especially love the aspect of healthy meals being given and the huge play area outside.”
