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

All teachers for these years I have met are humble, loving, caring and beautiful people, and the service level have been great and stable. Like my son, there are many other kids pretty much grew up here. Thank you all, thank you so much!”
“My daughter had a truly wonderful experience at SugreeTree Preschool. From the moment she started, she felt welcomed, supported, and excited to learn every day. The entire staff creates such a warm, nurturing environment that fosters both creativity and confidence in the children. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing teachers—especially Connie, Mandy, and Seon—whose kindness, patience, and dedication made a lasting impact. Their ability to connect with the kids and make learning fun is truly special. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, the classrooms are vibrant and engaging, and the sense of community among the staff and families is something we deeply appreciated. We’re so grateful for the positive start SugreeTree gave our daughter on her educational journey!”
“My daughter attends Sugartree Lane Preschool and absolutely loves it! The teachers are wonderful—caring, supportive, and really engaging with the kids. She has made lots of friends and always looks forward to going each day. The centre is always very clean, well-organised, and welcoming. We really appreciate the multicultural environment, which helps the children learn about and respect different cultures. A special mention to Malcom (the owner), who is involved in the day-to-day activities. One of the highlights for my daughter is Music Monday—she talks about it all the time! Highly recommend Sugartree Lane to any parent looking for a nurturing and fun preschool for their child.”
