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

Parent Reviews
“Both of my children have attended this preschool, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The environment has been consistent and nurturing, with dependable leadership that ensures everything runs smoothly. The teachers are genuinely caring, creating a safe and encouraging space where children thrive. It’s been wonderful to see my kids grow and develop in such a supportive community. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for helping our little girl to be more confident. She (we) loves the animal care program and it’s everything a child need to. We appreciate the extra miles effort from every single teacher.”
“Two of my children went to Tawa Montessori pre-school. I do not have enough words to praise the teachers, and the whole team there! Amazing programme, the life skills the children learn early on, and the support the children get from the beautiful kaiakos! My middle child lost his dear grandfather while he was at Tawa Montessori pre-school, and months later, it was the head teacher, Leanne, that took time to guide my son to express his feelings, and that paved the way for us to recognize he needed professional help with his grief. These are teachers that went above and beyond for my babies.My children fondly look at photos on their profile book whenever we bring it out. If we did not have to move cities, we would have sent our third child there as well!”
“Our son is loving and thriving in the tawa montessori environment. Great teachers and staff, very approachable and caring. Would highly recommend Tawa Montessori Preschool.”
“A lovely preschool with great staff and management. Very lucky to have had all the kids in our family and extended family go through the wonderful Montessori method that is practised here. Highly recommended!”
