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

Parent Reviews
“I really can’t speak highly enough of this kindy. The teachers are warm, caring, and always make the kids feel safe and excited to learn. My eldest went here and is now in school, and she still talks about her kindy teachers and friends. My second is there now and loves it, and our baby will be going too once they turn two. It truly feels like a little community, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.”
“We have been with ToTally Kids since February 2022, My daughter absolutely loved going each day, The teachers are amazing, always made my daughter feel loved, cared for and respected. The teachers will always be apart of our family. Great outdoor area for play and great selection of toys inside & out, My daughter absolutely loved painting, crafting, dress ups , role playing and the sand pit area.

“We have been with Totally Kids since March 2022 and absolutely love it. The staff and children are our family and the growth we have seen in our daughter is amazing. We love that it’s a small centre, it’s very homely and we are always so welcomed. Our daughter has made so many friends and come out of her shell so much! They have a great outdoor area with great equipment, an awesome range of toys and activities are provided every day and each child is nurtured, loved and respected.”
“The teachers here are filled with love, from eating and sleeping to teaching children knowledge, they do everything very well. My child has had a very happy childhood here. From 2 years old to 5 years old, and now they are about to start school, we really don't want to leave.”
“We have had both our children attend ToTally Kids & as a family we have enjoyed being a part of this center over the years. Kind, caring & experienced staff made our early childhood experience stress free, and the children have really enjoyed attending, always knowing there would be an activity suited to their ever-changing interests. 100% recommend this center to anyone looking for somewhere that can feel like a home away from home for their children.”
