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

Parent Reviews
“Great preschool with caring teachers. Offers school holiday programme which is really helpful. Play is intertwined with learning and we get excellent stories shared and updates on progress.”
“Great experience for my three year old boy. Hopefully my 13 month old baby girl will be starting there soon. Added April 2025 My baby girl is now two years old. She took a little bit of time to settle into Montessori but the teachers are excellent in supporting her! And she is now thriving in Fantail class ❤️ Thank you, the team at Orakei Montessori, for looking after my kids. I am so grateful for everything you do!”
“Great school! My daughter thrived! She is year 1 now and from time to time she still tells me how much she missed her old school. The teachers are busy and yes it could be difficult to enrol or communicate at the beginning, but I don’t think anyone would has attended is unhappy about the school.”
“The manager of the Kindergarten is very rude and unprofessional in management, communication with parents, and in the way of providing feedback about the kids.”
