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

Parent Reviews
“Nice friendly staff my grandson loves it there”
“My child has been attending for almost two years now, and I really appreciate the daily activities that keep the kids engaged and involved. The teachers work very hard with the children, and it truly shows. I was pleasantly surprised on Father’s Day when my daughter sang me a song, and when I asked her, she proudly said her teachers had taught her. Moments like these show the positive impact teachers have. Keep up the great work, teachers! You are capable of bringing change and playing such a vital role in shaping a child’s life. You are helping create strong roots for their future. Highly Recommended :)”
