About The Beehive Early Learning Centre
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 The Beehive Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughter went here for 3 years and absolutely loved it! A lovely open-plan space with a big outdoor area. We chose this centre over others because of it's cosy, home-away-from-home vibe, plus they always have a great teacher/child ratio. They were always doing something fun that involved science, technology or art. My daughter has made some really good friends that we still keep in touch with.”
“My boy loved his time here, was very well cared for and always came home with great stories about his funfilled days with friends at the Beehive. Staff were always very easy to communicate with and very reasonable.”
