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 Wellington City Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Our son went to the kindy and had a great experience there. The whole place is warm and welcoming , full of natural materials. The teachers were supportive made the kindergarten feel like home. We have moved overseas now, but are still grateful for this first experience our son had at the kindy. It has set him up for success as he feels open and confident at the new school.”
“This is a lovely kindergarten with high student teacher ratios. The environment is calm and well suited to young tamariki who want to attend kindy but not get overwhelmed. Teaching staff are excellent. Thoroughly recommend.”
“Such a beautiful kindergarten & I’m so grateful for the wonderful community. All the teachers are absolutely amazing & my daughter is always excited to go to kindy & excited to see everyone. It’s a beautiful and natural environment and the outdoor space is beautiful with the trees & the birds ❤️”
“Our daughter goes here. We feel that it's a very supportive environment with a high teacher to child ratio where each childs needs and interests are treated individually. The environment (inside and outside) are beautiful and natural. A large villa space converted, with soft colours and a wood fire. Outside has mature trees with shade, lots of birds and a good space to explore. Fully recommend this kindy for any child!”
“Our daughter was here for two years. Everything about it was perfect: amazing community of loving and engaged parents. Super experienced, calm and kind teachers, small, beautiful, thoughtful. It all feels grounded, with natural materials and a slow pace - a sharp contrast to our manic, digital world we live in. Can't recommend highly enough.”
