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 Tots Love Country, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Highly recommend Tots, super friendly kind teachers, they take amazing care of the children, so encouraging to develop their strengths, abilities and interests.. Great play area with so much to do and learn, and the children love the animals.. It's comforting to know they are in safe nurturing hands. Really is a home away from home. Will be a sad day when we have to leave for school.”
