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.

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 Pebbles Montessori Cashmere, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We love Pebbles! Such a wonderful, friendly, creative and safe place for little ones. All of the teachers really care about the children. I have to bribe my nearly 2 year old to leave as she loves it so much. We can’t rave about Pebbles Cashmere enough 🙂”

“Genuine kind teachers who take the time to care for your child and family. Well resourced. Multicultural. Our son has been here for a bit more than a year since 11 months old. He thrives here and we can't recommend them highly enough.”
