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 Te Pahu Preschool Group, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Such a lovely daycare with friendly& very supportive staff and big free-explored outdoor environment. The whanau are so kind and nice to give support. Definitely Aa home away from home daycare! Like the forest school program as the tamariki to explore and build the strong connection with our papatuanuku.”
“The teachers at Te Pahu Preschool are so kind and caring and they have become like family to us. There’s such a lovely supportive community of parents too – everyone jumps in to lend a hand! We especially love the big open natural playground. All three of my kids have gone through Te Pahu Preschool and it's been the best decision for our family!”
“This is a great small, friendly community run preschool. Its a not-for-profit so the fees are very affordable. My boys had a fabulous time here and it gave them a great start. It helped us to get to know people in our community and all the family have made friends for life.”
