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

“Tiny stars is like a little hidden treasure. I enrolled my son 3 months ago (first of my kids to attend childcare) everyone was so welcoming and generally excited when my son started. Such a great bright, learning space. The vibe is amazing my son loves his school! I also love the cultural aspect that helps the kids learn about there own or someone elses. Highly recommend tiny stars.”
“My daughters have been attending Tiny Stars for two years this year. The centre is well set out, always clean and tidy. The teachers are like our family, my daughters are very treasured here. They learn the Cook Island Reo and culture, they are taught great manners and are provided with a healthy lunch every day. I'm so glad that they attend Tiny Stars. It really is a blessing.”
“My daughters absolutey love Tiny Stars and so do I - every child really does shine here! From their very first day, my 2x babies felt right at home and I never felt uneasy leaving my 4 month old there! The teachers are amazing and I never feel unwelcome or kept in the dark as a parent. The children are nurtured and able to explore, learn and grow in all aspects of their lives and themselves. 100000% recommend Tiny Stars! ♡”
