About Riverhills Early Learning Centre
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 Riverhills Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Highly recommended!!! My son has been attending Riverhills Early Learning Centre since he was 4 years old, and now that he's transitioning to primary school, I wanted to share our experience. From the very beginning, we were impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff. The teachers are genuinely caring, attentive, and skilled at engaging children in meaningful learning. My son has developed so much—not just academically but also socially and emotionally. The curriculum is well-balanced, combining structured learning with plenty of play and creative exploration. Communication with parents has always been clear and consistent, whether through daily updates, newsletters, or special events. The centre is clean, safe, and well-equipped with both indoor and outdoor play areas that my son always looked forward to. I’m incredibly grateful for the team at Riverhills Early Learning Centre and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a supportive early childhood environment. Thank you Priya and your Team👏👏👏”
