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 Scuola Montessori (15th Avenue), it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“A big thanks to all the teachers at Scuola Montessori. They have been excellent with my kids, and a special thanks to David for creating such a positive atmosphere at the school. My child was always excited to go to Montessori every day. The learning environment was very interesting, and all the teachers were friendly and caring, which made the children enjoy coming to school without any laziness. I would also like to specially mention the documentation done by your team — through Storypark we were able to see all the activities, and finally, we received a beautifully documented book with photos from start to finish. It was truly awesome. Thanks once again to everyone from the bottom of my heart”
“Great facilities & friendly staff.”
“We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this Montessori school. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and independence. The learning environment is calm, nurturing, and filled with hands-on activities that keep the children engaged and excited to learn. I’ve noticed such positive changes in my child’s confidence, social skills, and curiosity since starting here. The Montessori approach really allows each child to learn at their own pace while encouraging responsibility and creativity. I feel confident knowing my child is in a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment every day.”
“Huge thanks to Jolene and the team at Scuola! When there was a power cut, Jolene quickly arranged for our little one to move to their Waihi Road location. This showed they truly go the extra mile to look after families, even during unexpected situations. Highly recommend!”
“Not at all Montessori inspired place. Do not recommend”
