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 Valleys Little and Junior Treasures, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I have had two children through Valleys so far, one currently still there and one at school. We have a third on the way and I wouldn’t look anywhere else for care for my babies. Amy and her amazing teachers create the most loving family and real environment for the kids. The facility is amazing and so much space!! So much washing from all the fun and different activities they have all day every day. We owe a lot of our 5yos amazing personality and loving nature to these ladies because they nurtured and loved him so much throughout his time there. Can not recommend this place enough!!”

“Our first son attended Valley’s Little Treasures before he transitioned to kindergarten. He absolutely loved it there and as parents we couldn’t be happier to send him there even though it is out of our way and we drive past many other centres. Amy and her team of amazing teachers go above and beyond to support and nurture all of the children. The centre is well resourced including a beautiful large outdoor area. We were particularly attracted to the small numbers of children and the high child/teacher ratio. As a new entrant teacher I have visited many centres and I have never seen one as clean as Valley‘s. We are looking forward to being part of the Valley’s Whanau again next year when our second baby starts there.”

“What an incredible place! My daughter has loved every minute being in care at Valleys Little Treasures and now Valleys Junior Treasures. Such a beautiful, clean environment with so many great learning opportunities. All of the staff and management are wonderful, kind, caring and attentive to the needs of your child, they make you feel part of the Valleys whanau, which we love! My daughter sometimes asks to go to daycare on her days off..can't recommend enough! 😊”

“Absolutely amazing! This isn't just childcare to me, it's family. All three of my kids have been to Valleys. Huge love and respect for the management there and all the staff for being such special people in my kids lives. My now 9 year old still has his book he was gifted when he left for school that is filled with the most amazing little notes! They go the extra mile for our kids and I'm so grateful.”
