About Sunnyvale Kindergarten
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 Sunnyvale Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Had some good experiences but unfortunately the dangers to my children outweighed the good experiences. my advice if you send your child here, be extra aware and watch for the safety of your child. Also keep communication either written or recorded!!!!!! Wish I could say something nicer but yeah. Just be aware for your babies safety!!!”

“We were anxious about finding the right early childhood centre for our shy 2 going on 3 yr old but from the moment we visited Sunnyvale Kindergarten we had a good feeling about the place, from the open outdoor play area to the calm atmosphere indoors. We feel so lucky to have had a marvellous support network around our kid throughout, and now aiding her in her transition to school.”
