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

“We are happy to have got a place for our son here. The teachers are professional, nurturing and of course lovely. They understand the needs of the child and the expectations of the parents and do accordingly in nurturing your child. Teachers are so welcoming and I have had chance to see how they help the children grow. End of the day what brings peace to a working mom is to know that her child is happy, safe and well taken care of.”
