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 Peninsula Kids, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Peninsula Kids is highly recommended by us! We have two kids there, one of them joined as a baby and the other will leave for school later in the year. The communication with the parents by both the teachers and the owner is balanced and encouraging. Love that the older 4 year old kids go on weekly adventures to learn about the local community and build independence skills for school. The centre is clean and modern and has a beautiful outdoor area. I love that the focus is not only on learning but also the emphasis on building social skills and developing friendships.”

“Peninsula Kids It has been like a second home for our son, he started going from a very young age and I always noticed a dedication from his teachers, not only in his practical requirements but also in the emotional aspect , feeling loved and content for me was an essential part and it was more than fulfilled. Every day that I leave him in childcare he stays with a smile and goes to play with his friends happily. Very grateful to the entire Team at Peninsula Kids. Andrea Munita”

“A friend recommended PK as a daycare and I have not been disappointed! My son absolutely loves PK. So happy to go in the morning and tells me about all the fun things he gets to do. He is in the older kids area now but when he was a baby I loved the little book that had all the details of sleep/food etc so when I came to get him I knew what he needed and how his day was etc. This seems quite unique to PK and definitely helped me out!”

“Our 3 kids attended Peninsula Kids (2 graduated and 1 is still attending). We are very fortunate to have a daycare Centre like Peninsula Kids, they are part of our family and like a second home! The Centre is newish, well facilitated, clean! We feel they provide the best care possible to our children, the teachers are the most caring, loving and genuine. We can see that they really love our children. Food is prepared and cooked fresh daily by a inhouse chef, the daily menu looks delicious, healthy and balanced (veggies, proteins, carbs). We find Peninsula Kids are open to feedback, listen and proactively engage with us in a two-way conversation. Our children look forward to going to daycare and are very happy. They also offer extra curricular activities like dance and sports, and the Ready4School programme is very helpful to help integrate our children to primary school. Having attended another daycare before, we can compare standards and highly recommend Peninsula Kids to anyone without any hesitation!”

“Peninsula Kids has been such a wonderful place for both of our children over the last 5 years. The kids have formed special relationships with their teachers and are completely at home in the supportive environment. The teachers do a wonderful job of being attentive to each child’s needs and interests, and encourage them to develop their confidence and skills across the board. We wholeheartedly recommend PK as a childcare centre and would not consider sending our kids anywhere else!”
