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 Mataliki Tokelau Akoga Kamata, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“My daughters were attending another daycare when things didnt go well and we needed to find somewhere else FAST. Mataliki was the first daycare we visited and they were able to take in both my girls, the staff are friendly and my daughter's always came home happy and looking forward to the next day. To this day they always ask if they can go back to their old school and they are both 6 and 8yrs old now.”
“All three of my children attended Mataliki Preschool from 2010 - 2017. They blossomed socially, emotionally and academically at Mataliki Pre School. I have been nothing but happy and extremely satisfied with the care the staff provided for my children. The staff provide a very loving, nurturing and safe environment for my children while developing their social skills, confidence and preparing them for Primary School. I can confidently say Mataliki provided my children the care & attention they needed to enable them to achieve their full potential. All of my children left Mataliki in the best position to continue their education. Thank you so much to the staff at Mataliki for providing a fun and safe environment for our children. You all made them excited every morning to come in.”
“All the aunties here at Mataliki are amazing. Where other centres can feel stale & sanitised from any cultural identity, Mataliki Tokelau feels like home - inclusive, safe & full of culture. They really care about their children & staff and the wider families. The centre goes over and beyond what normal daycare centres do. They are whanau centric - minimise barriers to family wellness by providing safe, affordable care, with well trained staff. They feed our babies healthy nutritional meals. They teach culture and language. The facility has everything our babies need. Open, clean and many many things for the little ones to do. Highly recommend.”
“I have had 2 children graduate from Mataliki and have one child currently attending. The family that run the centre are so lovely, warm and friendly. The staff are very hands on, truly care about the kids and they have great core values. All 3 of my children have thrived during their time at Mataliki. Our experience has been nothing short of amazing and I will forever be grateful for the staff/owners of Mataliki.”
“Mataliki provides more than childcare - they ensure a caring, holistic and culturally anchored experience for our son and all children who attend. Our son loves going to Mataliki. Staff and management are friendly and professional and the fees are very affordable. We give them the highest recommendation.”
