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

Parent Reviews
“I sent my children here an they said frogs aren’t allowed change your name of the business please this is very misleading”
“A welcoming place that our three daughters have loved. We are so glad that it’s part of the community!”
“We love Spotted Frog. Our son attends part time and he looks forward to going every week. The owner and teachers are amazing with the kids, from working out what each child’s interests are and fostering these to adventures around the community, you couldn’t ask for more for you child.”
“My children started at Spotted Frog just over a month ago. They settled in well thanks to the amazing staff. The centre does fun activities for the kids - my son came home last week excited to share his adventures for the day where they visited the library and village. Both kids have learnt a lot in their few weeks at the centre and have also become more independent. The size of the centre is great and the facilities too. Highly recommend ☺️”
“It's great to see the progress for this new preschool/daycare and I'm really looking forward to the grand opening. Spotted Frog Preschool have the same fantastic owners as Blue Frog Preschool and if this new centre is anything like that one, well that's awesome! My boy really enjoyed Blue Frog. The centre and staff are fantastic.”
