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

Two of my kids are attending Pukeko since Aug 2023 and their development are enormous. Everday I can feel their growth and development and that made me so happy of the decision choosing the right daycare for them. When I drop them to Pukeko, I always feel that they are in safe and secure place. The centre always celebrate each and every occasion and kids learn different cultures that would help them to become culturally inclusive.

“I would like to shout out for an amazing team at Pukeko. The centre manager Niki is so humble and always there to listen or accommodate the needs. The teachers do a great job. I am at peace at work knowing that my baby is in the safe hands. My baby has become very social and has learned quite a few words since he has joined the day care. He is soo attached with his teachers who takes care of him really well. Even the other teachers for toddlers are very welcoming as well and look after my baby. I would like to acknowledge and say a big thanks to the team for their precious efforts. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊”
“Journal of Jai here! My two bubbas are enrolled in this preschool and they're one of the best out there! I love how the teachers are so hands on, and how they treat my children the way I wanted them to be treated! Centre's rules? Gentle hands, no shouting, no fighting, no running and so much more. Good values are being taught here too, one of the most important thing that every parent would like to teach their kids! Highly recommended!”
