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 Samuel Marsden Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Best school Marsden Best decision we made for our daughter.”
“Good day all. Our experience from the start with Marsden Pre School has been amazing. Ms McConnell and Mrs Whitehead are amazing. Everything is kid first from proper nutrition to overall development. They take great care of my little girl . If we leave instructions regarding anything they listen and follow. They offer great information and instructions if you need anything. They are very quick to respond to you and they communicate whether it's ,procare text ,email etc. We would highly recommend Marsden Preschool as we have noticed our daughter has become more confident, independent and have made wonderful friendships. We love being part of the Preschool community and wouldn’t hesitate recommending this to others. Keep up the great work. Nga mihi nui, Jaya and Abi”
