About One Tree Hill Community Kindergarten
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 One Tree Hill Community Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We feel incredibly grateful to be part of One Tree Hill Community Kindergarten. From the very beginning, the teachers have been so warm and welcoming to our family. Our child absolutely loves coming to kindy — she talks about her teachers and friends all the time, and it’s clear how much she feels at home there. We’ve seen her grow in confidence, kindness, and creativity. The environment is nurturing and thoughtfully set up to encourage curiosity, exploration, and friendships. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers for creating such a special place for children and families.”
“Over the years, many of our family members have attended this kindergarten, including all four of my children. The teachers are exceptional—warm, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to making every child feel comfortable and valued. They consistently provide a wide variety of engaging activities, ensuring that no two days are ever the same. Even after relocating out of the area, we chose to keep our children enrolled here, which speaks volumes about the incredible, long-standing teaching team and the nurturing environment they’ve created. I cannot recommend One Tree Hill Kindergarten highly enough!”

The facilities are clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity and learning. Both our children have loved going every day and come home full of stories and smiles. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a nurturing and supportive environment”
“Our daughter has been attending One Tree Hill Kindy since February, & she absolutely loves going to school. The self-directed learning approach really suits her - she gets to choose what she wants to do in the mornings, which keeps her excited. The wonderful teachers are always setting up different engaging activities that spark curiosity & creativity. We’ve seen our daughter grow so much in confidence since she started, & are so glad about it :)”
“One Tree Hill Kindy is brilliant. It is very clear that all the teachers are not only truly experienced, but genuinely care deeply about the experience the children have here. Every morning there is a range of different activities to engage them and you can see the thought that goes into it. Communication is really open and collaborative - they're there to work with you to support your kids growth! Highly recommend.”
