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 Windsor Montessori Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Windsor Montessori Preschool is an outstanding place for you kids. Cynthia and her team do a fantastic job. Some of the highlights for us: Amazing teachers. Happy kids. Super fun daily activities. Top notch communication with parents. Yummy lunches provided. Daily classroom updates/photos. Great learning materials collections. After originally enrolling my son into a different childcare centre back in 2021, and feeling it wasn’t quite the right fit for us, we went on the search for something else in our area. We stopped into Windsor Montessori; Cynthia welcomed us with open arms. We signed up right then and there, falling in love with the grounds and philosophy. Cynthia made the sign-up process so easy, and nothing was ever a problem, helping us complete all the forms and answering our many questions. Every morning we were greeted by the teaching staff with the warmest smiles and feeling that they genuinely love what they do. My son was so supported and were constantly challenged with such an amazing sense of belonging. It truly feels like dropping my son off to extended family. My son is 6-year-old and studies Year One at Primary School this year. We still go back and visit Cynthina because we missed her and Montessori!!! It's a big decision choosing the right daycare for your family and little one/s. If you are looking at daycare options, then you need to check out Windsor Montessori.”
“We were so impressed with the care and love our son was shown. From the moment you arrive it has a calm and relaxing feel. Teachers were great with communication and you are always kept up to date. Windsor Montessori is just the BEST!”
“We can not speak too highly of Windsor Montessori Preschool. An amazingly friendly environment with awesome learning resources, wonderful teaching staff and a real effort to include children and their families and culture in the day to day programme. Our daughter loved her time here!”
“We have had one (and soon to be 2) children through Windsor Montessori Preschool and I can honestly not speak highly enough of the environment and the wonderful teaching staff. We found the preschool to be a lovely bright space, where our son thrived due to the relatively small number of children enrolled and the calming/engaging styles that Cynthia and her team have, I do not think you could find more passionate and caring teachers. We cannot wait for our little girl to start next month and carry on the tradition.”
“Our son Devon thrived at and loved Windsor Montessori. It's not just a childcare, it's a nourishing learning environment with caring and kind teachers who are second to none. The indoor and outdoor space is exceptional for little people to explore, discover and learn in. We loved our time here, so much so we felt it was of more benefit for Devon to stay until he was 5.5 rather than send him off to school. Thank you Windsor Montessori!”
