About Peekaboo Childcare Centre
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 Peekaboo Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I feel like I have hit the jackpot securing a spot at Peekaboo kindy for my daughter. The teachers are truly amazing—so nurturing, passionate, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. The structured learning topics are fantastic; they keep the kids focused, curious, and excited to explore new ideas every day. Every morning, the delicious aromas wafting through the air let me know my daughter is in for a treat. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing she’s not only learning and playing in a safe environment, but also enjoying wholesome, tasty meals. This kindy has created a beautiful space for my daughter to thrive and as a parent, that’s everything.”

The centre fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to explore their interests. The learning programs are thoughtfully designed to be both educational and fun, striking a perfect balance between structured activities and creative play. Our child has flourished in their care, building confidence, developing social skills and forming positive connections with both peers and educators. The facilities are well-maintained, vibrant, and equipped with engaging resources that captivate the children’s curiosity.”
“We toured several daycares before settling on Peekaboo and have been so happy with our choice! The low teacher to child ratios and small nature of the center was what drew us to Peekaboo and we haven't regretted our choice since. Our little one started at 9 months and has absolutely flourished at Peekaboo. The teachers are amazing and we were made to feel welcome and part of the family from the get go. I highly recommend them!”
“The teachers are very loving and nice, my girl settled very well with teachers’ help. They are really helpful and supportive. It’s a good child care center, and my daughter loves it.”
