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 Wonderhub Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“The new managers of Wonderhub ELC are exactly what was needed. As parents, we feel the love and care come back into our preschool. Alia has come in and consulted with the community about changes being made, and has listened to what has been said before enacting change. The kaiako there are as amazing as ever (they are the reason we stayed in the first place), and the menu has had a much needed overhaul. I'm rather sad we only have a few months left at Wonderhub, and am very excited to see what happens in the near future. We are very, very happy with this change in ownership.”
