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

Parent Reviews
“I have very good experience with Wonderkids, as my son is quite shy and sensitive. Rose and her team are wonderful . listened to me very well and carefully, as I had a bad experience with another childcare Centre.”
“My son loved it here while there for 2 years. The teachers really tuned in to his way of learning and playing and were very committed to connecting home life to daycare life. Each day I dropped him off I knew he was in good hands. Thanks for helping my son grow and the memories he created there :)”
