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

Parent Reviews
“My grandson goes to this center and really enjoys it. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are provided. And extra activities are organized such as little dribblers”
“My toddler loves attending Pipitea and I highly recommend it to other parents. The teachers are amazing and create a fun and caring environment for the kids.”
“We send our daughter to Pipitea Childcare Centre and have only positive words to say about it. All the teachers and staff are so loving and committed and they go above and beyond every day for all the tamariki in their care. The parent teacher co-operative element of Pipitea is really special because it means all the families are committed to participating in the life of the centre. Our daughter absolutely adores her time there (it's a major struggle to get her to leave every day!) and we feel really lucky to be a part of Pipitea.”
