About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Sunnynook Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Today is my son’s last day at Sunnynook Kindergarten, after a relatively short time being here. The teachers are amazing. Thanks to their care, he settled in very quickly and well. Katrina and her team are great teachers. I cannot find enough words to express my appreciation for them. They care for both the child and the family. It is hard to say goodbye, but due to changes in our family situation, we have to. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Sunnynook Kindergarten.”
“We love Sunnynook Kindy! The teachers are so friendly and always have a smile. They have been very supportive and understanding for the whole family, especially of our daughter's transition and toilet training. They are kind and caring and it feels like a home away from home for our daughter which makes drop off a lot easier. They have great communication with parents and we feel confident she is in safe hands. We wish we could give more stars and would highly recommend to everyone.”
“We love this place 💚💚 The teachers are amazing..my son loves to go Kindy 😊😊”
“My oldest girl attended here between 2015 to 2017. Great quality teachers who have been working at the same kindergarten for many years. They are still all there last time I visited a couple of months ago. :) Highly recommend for their transition to School program. They prepare their children really well for entering primary. Routine visit to Sunnynook School so children are already familiar with the school environment before entering school. :)”
“Excellent kindergarten!”
