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

Parent Reviews
“My daughter started at The Village Learning Centre when she was just 7 months old, barely crawling. As a first-time mum needing to return to full-time work after maternity leave, I visited several daycares in West AKL, and when I stepped into The Village I felt that I found the environment that I was searching for my baby and my family - safe, warm and supportive. Now, three years later, that little baby is a happy, healthy, and confident preschooler. All teachers, admin staff and chef are so kind, friendly, dedicated, and they truly show how much they care about the tamariki. For me, The Village is an outstanding example of early childhood education, and I’m forever grateful to them for being such a wonderful part of my daughter’s early years. ❤️”
“The Village has been an amazing second home for our son, from caring and attentive staff we always felt our son is in good hands. Their preschool transition to school is outstanding it offers engaging learning activities that helped our son prepare for a successful start in formal school. The Village is an awesome place for kids to learn and have fun.”
“Our two kids have been at The Village since they were babies. The teachers and wider team are wonderful. It's a lovely learning environment - always clean, healthy food and fun/educational activities. My oldest is now at school and the fundamentals he learned in pre-school at The Village really gave him a headstart. My youngest is a toddler and loves it.”
“What an amazing Early childhood experience we had with this center. Clean and well maintained property with amazing facilities. Teachers are so friendly and always keep you updated on your child’s learning journey. Special Thanks to manager Tanveer and all wonderful teachers at the centre for making this journey easier.”
“My child has spent the past three years at The Village, and I’m so glad I chose this centre. She met the most amazing teachers and has grown into a confident girl who is more than ready for school. From the manager to the teachers to the chef, everyone has the kindest heart for every child. As a dad, I have a thousand words in my heart, but they all come down to one: thank you.”
