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

“We’ve had such a positive experience with Royal Oak Learning center. The teachers are caring and truly dedicated to each child's well-being and development. Our son is super shy but learned new things and made good friends there. He always comes home happy, with new things to share every day. I feel confident knowing my child is in such good hands. Highly recommended.”

“My daughter attended the Royal Oak Learning Centre for about six months, and I couldn’t be happier with how much she’s grown. Moving to a new country was a big adjustment for her, and this was the first learning centre she attended here. Naturally, she felt a bit uncertain at first, especially since her English was limited and only one other child spoke Chinese.What really stood out to me was how the centre handled her situation with such care. They arranged for a Chinese-speaking teacher to support her, which made a world of difference in helping her feel secure and understood during that challenging time. The teachers are not just skilled, but also genuinely caring. They really take the time to get to know each child and their needs, creating a warm and nurturing environment where kids actually look forward to learning. Thank you to the entire team for making her learning experience so enriching and enjoyable!”

“One of the best learning centres in AKL Central. My elder one had 2 amazing years with them and my daughter is having an absolute ball right now. Their philosophy of a home based environment that connects the children to nature, while nurturing every child's unique interests is really admirable.”
