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.

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

“Our son loves going to daycare, he has been going Rototuna Early Education since 14 months old and is now nearly 3. Staff are nice and friendly and the centre has a great outdoor area for the kids to play in.”

“Please do not put your child on their waiting list. I have been waiting from last 4 years and they never get organised to enroll my child. Now my daughter is going to primary soon and their servcies are no longer required. All I got waste of my time keeping my child in their waiting list and responding to their useless emails. Very disappointed and not recommended!”
