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

Parent Reviews
“This the most beautiful welcoming kindy, staff are thoroughly engaged with the children and make genuine relationships.with them.”
“Very welcoming and made my son feel comfortable, he's fitted in well with both teachers and the other children”
“Riverlea Kindergarten has changed its name to reflect its surroundings better but the same high quality experience is there for every child. Our last kindy kid is at school now but he went well prepared by the teaching staff and still loves to walk past and be acknowledged by the kindy family. I thoroughly recommend Riverlea Kindergarten to any parent wanting to place their child in a safe, friendly, caring and stimulating environment.”
“Maxime, Stéphanie and Lucy The best kindergarten ever in Hamilton.”
