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

“I absolutely love Pukeko Preschool! The staff is amazing - they're super friendly, caring, and know how to make learning fun for kids. The facilities are always clean and colorful, and there are so many fun things for the kids to do. I especially appreciate how much time they spend outdoors, exploring nature and having a blast. If you're looking for a great preschool, look no further than Pukeko!”
“The most amazing Preschool! My son has been with Pukeko Preschool for 2 years now and he’s absolutely loved it. The teachers/staff are beyond amazing and they’ve treated my boy like their own. He’ll be starting Primary School soon and we’re so sad that he’s having to leave his friends and Whāea at Pukeko Preschool. I would highly recommend this Preschool to anyone ☺️”

“This lovely centre is family oriented to catering for children from birth up to school age. The landscaped yard comprises of sandpits, flower gardens and paths allowing for children to experience and learn in their surroundings. The family environment allows for siblings to learn alongside and helping each other out. The staff here are awesome and really enjoy looking after and teaching your children, displaying the childrens learning on the walls around the centre. I have really enjoyed being part of the team here as an education support worker and helping out with the children.”
