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 Grow Active Balfour Terrace, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We feel so lucky to have found Grow Active! The team have been consistently caring and attentive as our wee guy (18 months old) has settled into preschool life over the past six months. We have always appreciated their great communication, and an added bonus is that kai is provided which makes life that little bit easier for us!”

“My son has been at Grow Active Balfour Terrace for over 2.5 years now and he absolutely loves it! From the moment we walked in he felt safe and instantly wanted to explore. The staff are amazing and attentive to the children. They genuinely care for the children and their families. It is such a beautiful space they have created. I highly recommend Grow Active”
“The team at Grow Active have been exceptional. They've been accommodating, flexible, caring and professional, taking fantastic care of our almost 2 year old boy. The fees are very fair and it's been comforting for us knowing that our boy is in good hands when not at home. The facility is very cleverly designed and there's plenty of space and variety for kids to explore. The teacher to child ratios are also really good. Very easy to recommend to others.”
“Excellent preschool. Reflects our home rhythms very well. Wonderful caring teachers.”
