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

Parent Reviews
“Our son, Michael, has been a part of Learning Corner for the past four years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care, love, and support he received throughout his time there. From the very beginning, the team at Learning Corner made us feel confident and at ease, knowing that Michael was in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. The teachers—especially Ms. Shiela, Ms. Christina, and Ms. Shamsi—have played a significant role in shaping his early development. Their patience, kindness, and dedication are truly commendable. Leaving Learning Corner is a bittersweet moment for our family, as it has become a second home for Michael. We’ll always carry warm memories of the time spent there and the incredible people who cared for him. Thank you, Learning Corner, for giving Michael such a wonderful start in life. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a place where their child will be loved, supported, and inspired every day”
“My twins attend this kindergarten, and our experience so far has been truly wonderful. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the well-being of the children. They go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe and supported. As a parent, I really appreciate how approachable and helpful they are — always willing to listen, answer questions, and offer guidance when needed. It’s clear they’re passionate about what they do, and that makes all the difference. I’m grateful to have found a place where my children are so well cared for and happy.”
“I would like to thank the wonderful team at The Learning Corner for teaching, guiding, mentoring and taking care of our daughter from February to April 2025, when she transitioned to Primary School age. My daughter was enthusiastic about going to the Learning Corner and had lots to speak about when she would come home every day - about her friends and particularly all her teachers. She loved all the activites, fun programmes and games at this insitituion. Most importantly she felt loved and felt safe at the Learning Corner. She enjoyed, grew and matured under their able guidance and their efforts together with the wonderful team of teachers and staff. We were blessed to have your support and encouragement, as a new family settling into New Zealand academic system and life. We are immensely grateful for every blessing that we have received from The Learning Corner.”
“We recently transferred our son here after moving into the area. The team and teachers have been fantastic and really helped with the transition. Everyone is very friendly and show a real care for the children. We get plenty of photos of our son's daily activities and the children are always having fun. Our son is really enjoying his new daycare and the environment provides plenty of stimulation with loads of activities. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the children which suits all weather conditions. I happily recommend The Learning Corner.”
“My son had a lot of firsts at The Learning Corner and it was good to have wonderful teachers by his side helping him experience them all. He loved going to daycare to be with his friends and teachers. He started in the babies room and stayed until he left preschool for the big school. He is now in primary and doing really well. Thank you to all his teachers in the Learning Corner. If you are on the hunt for a centre for your child, I highly recommend this centre for its dedicated and caring staff.”
