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.

“As a Mum of two sons who have attended Piccolo Park Mt Wellington, I can not rate this centre highly enough. From day one, it's been evident that this place is something special. The teachers are not just educators; they're genuine caregivers who go above and beyond to make sure every child feels loved and nurtured. The curriculum is top-notch, and it's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into what they teach the children. From educational activities to creative play, every moment is designed to inspire and engage young minds. What's more, their communication with parents is exceptional. We always feel informed and involved in our children's learning journey through all of the Educa updates and learning stories. One aspect that truly sets Piccolo Park apart is their celebration of diversity. They are not only aware of different cultures but actively celebrate them, creating a rich and inclusive environment where children learn to appreciate and respect one another's backgrounds. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Piccolo Park Mt Wellington. It's not just a childcare center; it's a second home where our children thrive and grow every day. Thank you to the amazing staff for their dedication and love!”
