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 Stables Montessori, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Great preschool - very well organised. Friendly, proactive and attentive staff, huge variety of learning activities, modern and safe. We moved our daughters here after a negative experience at another facility and couldn't be happier.”
“My son has been attending since January this year, and he absolutely loves it. He’s always so excited to head into his classroom each morning, and some days he doesn’t even want to leave when I pick him up—he just wants to stay and play! His teachers are incredible, and he’s built such a warm and trusting bond with each of them. The centre always smells of delicious, healthy food, and the staff are all so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I’m genuinely grateful to have found such an amazing place for my son.”
“My eldest thoroughly enjoyed her educational journey at this preschool. She cherished her time with her Kaiako and the friendships she formed. My son has also been attending the same preschool and he's having a blast! The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive to the needs of the families. They also embrace and celebrate every culture which is just awesome! Plus, the healthy meals prepared by Michelle are worth mentioning!”
“A fake "Montessori" preschool, my sisters child still haven't learnt A-Z and 0-9 till properly been there 9 months, heard there are politics between teachers and management, meh just a preschool... outrageous!”
“My daughter has been going for 8 months now, she loves it. Great food and the teachers are wonderful!”
