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

“We've had an incredible experience with Vintage Kids over the past 8 years, having sent all our three kids there until they started school. Vintage Kids provided a safe, nurturing, home-like environment for our kids. We valued the effort taken to provide well-balanced, nutritious meals, creative play and education. The thing that really sets Vintage Kids apart is its excellent staff – they are warm and kind, and really took the time to get to know our kids, create genuine bonds and provide opportunities for learning around their interests. It gave us the confidence to leave our kids there, knowing that they were well cared for and were in an environment focused on raising kind and caring individuals.”

“A great local daycare for your little one to spend their days while you are at work. Owner Sheree and head teacher Drina are both very kind, patient, and soft-spoken. The teachers are very experienced and great with kids. My son enjoyed the healthy, hot meals cooked on-site with fresh seasonal ingredients. The weekly menus are prepared by a nutritionist, which really helps kids expand their range of foods and develop healthy eating habits. On your child's birthday, the staff bakes a cake and decorates it with flowers from your garden for the children to celebrate and share. They also arrange for the children to visit the rest home next door and perform music for the elderly, which brings much joy to the seniors as well as the children. I am very grateful for the care, support, and early education my son received at Vintage Kids. It was such a wonderful experience and a cherished childhood memory.”

“My daughter Hayley started her days at Vintage Kids when she's only 14 months old. She's shy and doesn't speak much English back then. The teachers at Vintage Kids are so patient and well trained, Hayley was able to settle within a week. The philosophy of the facility is very much on helping the little ones to care for one and other, help them to be independent and grow their curiosity. Compare to other corporate owned franchise kinder gardens, Vintages to me is a better choice in many aspects. It's organic and well managed. The turn-over of their teacher is very minimal, which is very important for little ones. On top of that, their food is absolutely the best!”

“A great team you can fully count on!! It's the people who makes Vintage Kids such a special place for my kid to explore, to grow and to learn to become a 5Cs superstar. Vintage Kids is definitely more than a kindy, great food, great environment just like her second home (especially the playground). All is full of love! Kudos to Zaiwu, Renee, Jane and Tracey for your love and care to my daughter, thank you so much Vintage Kids!”

“We have been extremely impressed with the experience, creativity, passion and care of the teachers at vintage kids. The design of the inside and outside spaces is outstanding, and the way a variety of activities are set-up means there is always a lot of fun being had. Everything is clean and well-organized, and feels welcoming and just like home. We also love that one of the core values is storytelling. Couldn’t be happier to know that our little one is being so well looked after here.”
