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

Parent Reviews
“Good staff picked up grandkids”
“The staff at this preschool are very professional. They are very inclusive and find ways to let every child blossom. They are caring, kind and yet firm when they need too. You will see this by how the children behave, communicate and interact with their friends and their teachers. The children are always smiling and eager to learn. This preschool is highly recommended.”
“I have sent both my children to this pre-school and I couldn't be happier. They provide great learning and child care through their amazing team. I would highly recommend.”
