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

“Seedlings has been the best place to nurture my childs growth and development. The teachers go the extra mile to provide care and support. They work hard to ensure theres a wide range of different play and activities to do and the facility itself has the best outdoor space I have ever seen. My child always loved going to preschool and the communication with us as parents was great. A very warm family feel wouldn't want to go anywhere else!”
