About Toi Ohomai Childcare 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 Toi Ohomai Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“This is a wonderful place to send your child. My daughter loved it. Great facility with fantastic staff. Highly recommend.”
“Most beautiful Childcare Centre! Our children both love it, the kaiako are kind, caring, passionate and incredibly knowledgeable, and their cultural awareness is outstanding. They are always happy to help. The space is wide and it has a lot of different resources and the food provided is made with love by a passionate kitchen kaiako. Thumbs up all around”
“Very very sad to be leaving this place after 3 years! :'( The teachers go way beyond what's expected, especially for our special needs child. They love her more because of her needs! Stories from other parents from other centres simply do not compare to Toi Oho Mai”
