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

“My son just started with Pukeko preschool, and I can see my son really loves the Center and being around the teacher and other kids. Always feel welcome from our first time, friendly and honest conversation with every teacher, and also really happy with everyday updates from Julian and his team. Really appreciate your guys' help and support. I'm so glad I chose to let my son be part of your center. My son is also so happy to come to the center every afternoon, which makes me more conformable to take him to the center with no hesitation. So thank you, Julian, and the team for the updates and help very much appreciated. I strongly recommend the Pukeko Preschool Pakuranga”
