20 Hours ECE funding for 3 and 4 year olds

Up to 20 hours ECE funding is available for 3 & 4 year old children as per the government policy. Any hours over and above the 20 hours are charged at the standard hourly rate.

Whilst we do receive funding for this, it doesn’t cover the cost of extra services we provide over and above what is required by the Ministry of Education regulations, including: food, improved teacher to child ratios, excursions, sunblock, sunhats etc. To continue to offer this initiative at the centre and remain financially viable we ask all parents to pay an hourly optional charge as indicated above.
