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

Parent Reviews
“Both my children have attended The Montessori Preschool and have loved their time there. The centre is extremely well run with children that are happy, busy and so kind to each other. The teachers are loving and patient with the children and always approachable with the parents. Could not ask for more!”
“We moved from another daycare where our son was very unsettled to Belmont Montessori. From day one he found his place and 'crew' and has absolutely loves going to preschool. The teachers are wonderful with all the children and I am so happy he is in such a kind and caring environment. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Both my children have attended Acorn and thrived. A lovely, relatively small centre where children receive a lot of one on one attention and the staff cater towards individual children needs. Amazing staff who genuinely care for the children and build a strong connection and sense of community with them. My boys started school confidant, independent, curious and more than ready academically after attending Acorn. Highly recommend. ”
“My son Luca attends Acorn Montessori and he absolutely loves it. He looks forward to going every day which is wonderful. Kate and the teachers go above and beyond for the children at Acorn, providing high quality care. My son has advanced in many areas since attending, and we are so happy to have found Acorn. I highly recommend Acorn Montessori.”
“My daughter Blueberry absolutely loves Acorn Montessori, she loves commuting there everyday! I know shes been there for a while, but id say see has made some friends for life, such as Tom Alexander Wright age 4, Marquel Strangelove age 10. Im so happy to have the pleasure of enlisting my only child, Blueberry into this school. She was having troubles with her estranged mother death, Professor Hairmonk but she has settled in lovingly. My kindest regards”
