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.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

“Sunshine Christian Preschool is amazing and awesome. All teachers helped patiently my boy adapt to new environment when we came to New Zealand. Frequent and timely communication with teachers alleviated our anxiety when my boy was not able to understand and speak English. With the help of all teachers, he improved so fast. It is worth mentioning that he learned his own culture and developed culture confidence. Thank you God for guiding us to this wonderful preschool.”

“Dear Sunshine Christian Preschool Team, We just want to express again our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has been part of Matthieu’s journey at Sunshine, especially Teachers Kathrina, Suzie, Selena, Tessa, Eseta, Joy, and Grace. Thank you for helping him grow into such a confident, kind, and happy young boy. To everyone, we truly appreciate the love, patience, and dedication you’ve shown every day, especially in supporting his individual goals and nurturing him with strong Christian values. A very special thank you to Teacher Kathrina for facilitating the Filipino classes. It truly meant so much to our family. These classes helped Matthieu embrace his Filipino culture and gave him a deeper sense of belonging at school, especially since we speak Filipino at home. Seeing that part of his identity reflected and supported in the classroom made a big difference in his confidence and how he connected with others. We’ll always remember how excited he was to share stories about his day. About his friends, the activities he enjoyed, and of course, his teachers. It was clear how much he loved being at Sunshine and how deeply he felt connected to all of you. Please know that what you do each day goes far beyond just a job. The children truly look up to you and see you as part of their extended family. You are helping shape their early years in such a meaningful way, and we hope you feel proud of the incredible impact you're making. We will always be grateful to Sunshine Christian Preschool and to everyone who has played a role in Matthieu’s early learning journey. Thank you so much for everything. Warm regards, Eric and Leah”

“Sunshine Christian Preschool has been one of the most welcoming and warm centres I have come across. I have sent both my daughters here and feel like it is an extension of my own family. Not only do the teachers love, care and bond with the children but they go out of their way to understand the children’s cultures and family which I have found really special about this Preschool. It has a beautiful Christian teaching environment, whilst serving and loving all cultures and different backgrounds. There also isn’t a lot of teacher turnover which I think speaks really highly of the preschool and management.”
