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

“Moving our kids to Stoke Montessori was the best decision we ever made. The team are helpful & friendly and have become what we hope will be lifelong friends. The effort and care they put in to the kids and providing a safe environment for them to learn and express themselves is second to none and it is so good to see an Early childhood center where the kids are respectful to teaches and to the other children. Outstanding culture. Highly recommend!”

“Stoke Montessori has been the best experience for my son and our family. JJ used to scream and cry for hours after drop off at our previous daycare, but here at Stoke Montessori, he waves goodbye and walks off hand and hand with the teachers. You could not ask for more kind, caring and compassionate educators. We are so so glad we found this place!”

“Highly recommend this daycare. The owner is very caring and attentive to the kids needs and parents. I feel that they care for the kids development. I found the menu more healthy than other daycares by having fresh fruits and vegetables and very little processed foods. They strive to excel which is inspiring. I am very happy with the owner and teachers and am happy with my kids going there. I recommend!”
