About West Harbour Christian Kindergarten
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 West Harbour Christian Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“This is a great gem that I managed to find when hunting around for a suitable preschool for my girl! The teachers are all so caring and they really loves the children! My girl absolutely loves all her teachers! They always put parents and the children first and my girl always look forward to go to school. Knowing that my girl is in good hands, gives me a peace of mind as I go to work!”
“Our 2 kids went to this Kindergarten over the last few years at separate times as they are 2 1/2 years apart in age. The staff did a really great job with teaching and organising structured playing so that the kids could learn at the same time as playing. They where very compassionate and caring with looking after our kids.I highly recommend this kindergarten.”
“What an amazing, settled and warm inviting atmosphere at West Harbour Christian Kindergarten. Not just friendly, empathetic and loving teacher’s at the school, but the impact they have on the kids are brilliant. Connecting and making a difference in a child is most important and that is what I have experienced at the school. I would recommend parents in the community to explore their options. Fun learning takes place there.”
“West Harbour Kindergarten has been a great friendly environment for my sister and whānau. The staff are kind and awesome. The environment is phenomenal and values taught is spectacular. I recommend this Kindergarten for any child who lives within the area. It is home away from home. Your child will thrive in excellence and become successful in all aspects of development.”
“My grandchildren went through this kindy and absolutely loved it. It has the best teachers who are highly professional, approachable and kind. Everyone of them has a true passion for what they do. It is a very welcoming and inclusive place; they nutured my grandchildren in all different aspects of their little lives. We found it to be a very supportive and community focused kindergarten that allowed everyone to be accepted for who they are. The values that the kindy teaches are really just common sense values (having empathy, showing kindness and respect for others) this is clearly seen in both the teachers and the children when you are there. We thoroughly enjoyed the regular family events that they run and are often helping out where we can.❤️”
