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

“At first we are hesistant to send our kids to daycare unsure for their health, safety and emotional needs to be taken care of. When we learn about Pukeko Treehouse through our friends, we were convinced to give it a try and the rest is history. I can vouch on their integrity as clean, hands-on, supportive, accountable, and have a tender loving care to every kids under their care. Personally, I highly recommend Pukeko Treehouse daycare.”

“My daughter has been with Pukeko Treehouse since last year and she is loving it there. As a first time mom, I always felt anxious of leaving her in a centre but it was all gone whenever I see how she's been taken care of. Pukeko's staff and management had been so nice and looks after my daughter the same way that I would be looking after her. I can also see how they've been supportive on how my daughter will achieve all of her milestones and encourage her to explore with her young mind and imagination. The management is also very lenient and flexible with our schedules. Highly recommended. Kudos team Pukeko!”
