About Wildflowers ELC
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 Wildflowers ELC, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughter has recently started at wildflowers I must say the girls go up and beyond to make you feel welcomed & comfortable from the morning/arvo greetings by name, great communications on drop off & pick up atmosphere is always great, lovely variety of foods on the weekly menu. I posted on a mums group asking for recommendations for a preschool & wildflowers was highly recommended & I can now vouch for that great experience so far 😊”
“Great teaching team and beautifully kept centre. Great location, have had one child through and another currently attending. When we ask what our daughter’s favourite thing was in any given day it’s often ‘playing with Hannah (one of her kaiako)!’ We especially love how the varied menu has helped with our daughter’s fussy eating at home. (Full disclosure - my wife is a kaiako at the centre)”
“I have absolutely loved being a part of this community and feel we are leaving family. You have done an incredible job creating such a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for children. We’ve been so fortunate to call Wildflower our home and daycare for the past 18 months. I can’t fault a single one of the teachers we’ve had the pleasure of working with—they have all been amazing, supportive, and instrumental in shaping our son into the confident toddler he is today. Not only have the teachers supported our sons development and learning, but they’ve also been there for us as a family through the challenges we faced this past year. Their guidance has been invaluable. I’ve especially loved the centre’s commitment to teaching sign language to the babies from such a young age. It has made a huge difference at home and continues to help us with communication to this day. We will miss the centre so much, but we know it’s time for our little man to move on to kindy. We’re already looking forward to bringing baby #2 to Wildflower, knowing they’ll be in the safe and caring hands of your amazing team. Thank you again for everything.”
