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

Parent Reviews
“Treasure Cove has been absolutely amazing. I needed to move my daughter quickly to a new daycare after a negative experience with a previous centre and from the get go Treasure Cove was so caring & understanding of my situation, and within a day worked their magic and let me know I could enrol my daughter. The transition period has been amazing, all the teachers have gorgeous personalities and it is such a whanau environment. The centre worked hard to build whanaungatanga with my daughter during her transition period, which she has been able to build good rapport with the beautiful aunty Trudy. My daughter no longer fears going to daycare but instead looks forward to it. The centre has communicated with me effectively helping me be at ease, uploading photos to story park and ensuring me my baby is okay. I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare. Highly recommend ♥️♥️”
“Everyday, your greeted with manaakitanga, aroha, smiles and beauty. I love that my child/ren are treated as the precious taonga that they are, provided with a culturally safe environment where they can grow, flourish and blossom as they find their way in the world. 5 out of 6 of my children have attended Treasure Cove due to all of the above, amazing staff, great communication and just overall awesomeness. Highly recommend Treasure Cove whanau to all.”
“As soon as I walked into the toddlers room at Treasure Cove I immediately knew my daughter would thrive here. All the aunties are incredibly welcoming and loving. The environment is more like a kindergarten than a daycare which I love. The extra activities they organise for the kids is awesome as well - gym, bus trips, retirement home trips. 100% recommend to everyone.”
“As first time parents, we stepped foot inside the T.C and knew it was a home away from home for our daughter. As a Dad it was nice to be welcomed and made to feel just as important and special. My wife and I both loved the dedicated guardian vision in the Nursery room, especially as first time parents. The Aunties have become a part of our day to day life now too. When our son was born, returning to work was just a breeze for my wife. ~Day one starts with tears as you don't want to leave 'them', and their last day ends in tears as you don't want to leave the T.C! T.C graduation's are like no other, a true reflection of a magic learning journey. Forever thankful, forever grateful.”
“Both my babies have been enrolled with The Treasure Cove and I would not have it any other way. I knew they were warm and safe, but not only that they loved it! Wonderful, well thought out learning spaces, incredible teachers who have our kids best interests at heart! Such a great start to my children's learning journey!”
