About Puna Reo

Puna Reo centres provide early childhood education grounded in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, offering children a culturally rich environment where the Māori language is used naturally throughout the day.

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 Puna Reo o Ritimana, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.
