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.

“This center has made such a safe space for me as a parent, I feel so secure sending my daughter here as the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming!”
“5 Stars – We Love The Learning Corner! The teachers are absolutely lovely – so caring, patient, and full of energy. They really take the time to get to know each child and make them feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. Our child settled in so quickly and comes home every day with big smiles and stories to tell. The activities the fun, and we’ve noticed amazing progress in confidence, social skills, and even independence. The space is bright, clean, and filled with all sorts of fun things to explore. We also really appreciate how well they communicate with us – we get updates, photos, and little notes that make us feel so connected. We’re so thankful to have found The Learning Corner – it’s such a special place. Highly recommended to any family looking for a kind, fun, and supportive kindergarten!”
“Very good centre in ellerslie ….. my kids spent 4 years with them…. Caring and cooperative all staff members”
“The Learning Corner is a warm welcoming daycare and we are 100% happy with their wonderful care. Each day we are greeted like family by both the lovely teachers and gorgeous kids. The sugar-free policy puts us at ease knowing our son is going to get good healthy (and yummy) meals each day, and he comes home buzzing about the things he has learnt during the day through their discussions and playing. Our boy has thrived there, and we have recommended The Learning Corner to many of our friends. Thanks guys – you’re awesome!”
