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

“We look at several schools in the area and fell in love with Rockabye the mometwe walked in. From the amazing team to the building and facilities, we knew our daughter was going to enjoy it there. Several years later, we love it even more. Well done Karen and Lou and the whole team in making this a fantastic place for our kids.”
“We’ve been very happy with Rockabye Early Learning Centre for our two children. Caryn & Lou are amazing and provide a welcoming, nurturing and enriching environment. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s development. Our kids have grown so much—becoming more confident and curious every day. The programmes are engaging and fun. We appreciate the personalised care and the balance of academics and emotional growth. We feel really lucky to have found such a supportive and fulfilling environment for our family. Highly recommended!”
“Being foreign to the country, I was skeptical about starting my little one in just any baby class. But at Rockabye we've felt welcome from day 1. All the staff go out of their way with planning days, fresh daily set-ups, informing you of your kid's progress and keeping track of his growth and milestones. This was my first choice as I'm working just down the road from there but if I'd worked further, this would still be my first option! They really ROCK!”
