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

“Would highly recommend to all parents - Excellent quality in teachers who really take the time to get to know your child and understand their needs. Always had good feedback from there day at kindy and felt like my child was safe and protected.”
“My daughter has been going to Rutherford Kindy for 2 years now since she was 2. We love the teachers, very friendly, and accommodating. As a single mom who works til 5pm at times they have been accommodating with late pick up requests at a short notice which is very helpful for a parent like me. Highly recommended!!!! 💕”
