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

Parent Reviews
“My daughter ❤️ it”
“All 3 of my children went to this kindy and they thrived here - such beautiful grounds, nestled in nature. The teachers are all so caring and patient. There is always something new and fun to try out, they have amazing crafts, vege gardens, sandpit, swings, climbing equipment, a bike track. My kids all loved going on bush walks in the forest next to the kindy!”
“3 of my 4 kids went to Sunshine kindergarten and they all loved it 🤩 my youngest still at kindy and having great time. Teachers are amazing, caring and very professional in everything they do. My 2 girls at school now but love to come to their old kindy for a quick visit and teachers are always happy to see them 😊”
