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 St Johns Montessori, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Wonderful daycare with the most lovely kaiako who are attentive, caring, interested and engaging with tamariki. We've appreciated the daily verbal updates as well as the effort and time dedicated to host special events and celebrations for the children. Annual class and individual photos, Christmas celebrations, water play dates, Chinese Lunar NY, and special outings to Motat are all appreciated. Thank you so much to Monique, Kate, Nila and Adam who've always shown much love and kindness to our daughter. This is a very homely, multicultural daycare that celebrates everyone's background - thank you for the warmth and welcoming you provide to the children and their families. 100% recommend to other whānau in the St Johns community.

“We have just completed our very thorough 2 week transition period with our 17 month old girl and we couldn't be happier with how things have gone. The teachers especially Eugene have been so nurturing to my daughters clingy nature and she now is so happy and loves going. This is a huge testament to the nurturing and gentle approach from all the teachers. For context, this is the third Centre we have tried so since our daughter has been 8 months. So thankful I came across this preschool - Massive thank you to all the teachers for their contribution to my darling daughters development so far :)”
