About Stellar Kids Early Learning Centre Birkenhead
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 Stellar Kids Early Learning Centre Birkenhead, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My 14-month-old has been at Stellar Kids since he was 6-months-old. I was so sad having to put him into daycare so early but seeing how much he loves being there, puts my mind at ease. Mel and the rest of the team in the infant/toddler room are absolute angels. My little one adores them and I love knowing that he gets all the snuggles he needs from them when I'm not there. I love their focus on messy and nature play. My little one clearly loves it. Would highly recommend Stellar Kids if you're looking for a homely, loving environment for your little one.”
“Stella kids has been great for our two kids. Healthy meals, a homely environment and the best back yard! Lots of fun nature play we will miss you all when we go to school!”
“Stellar Kids is a home away from home for our little ones, both of whom are always very excited to head there each day. The staff are wonderful, taking care to build meaningful relationships with all of the kids, nurturing their interests & challenging them to grow. Bonus points for the incredible outdoor area!”
“Great center, my son has been attending for almost a year now and loves going. Teacher are great and very caring, food provided to the children is really good. Under 2s room allows for great learning opportunity and play. Outdoor/playground is amazing! We are super happy at Stellar Kids.”
“My daughter has been attending Stellar Kids for less than a month, but since the very beginning everyone was so welcoming, Mika the owner, Grace, the teachers Elaine and Catherine, and even the kids! They have been so empathetic and understanding that we will be forever grateful. There's a huge outdoor area, which is a rare find in Auckland, and provide super healthy meals. We couldn't be happier with changing her to this new place and can't wait to hear the great memories she'll bring back home!”
