What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?

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 Red Kite Preschool Mt Albert, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My son has been attending Red Kite since Feb 2024, and we have had experience in both the baby and toddler rooms. First, the owners Judy and Anita are wonderful to work with. They are communicative and genuinely care about all of the kids attending. Second, the teachers are phenomenal. They are patient, empathetic, and facilitate an amazing learning environment. My son comes home knowing so many new words and songs, as well as new abilities!! They really meet each child where they’re at in terms of development and needs, including with sleep, routines etc. So much investment has gone into the equipment and learning resources. My son loves attending and we feel secure knowing he is well taken care of!”
“New Owners Anita and Judy have unbeatable personalities. The centre has a very Friendly and Happy Atmosphere. The staff are the most Attentive team I have ever seen. The kids have so much to do, and there's even face painting every Friday🥳🦄 Lots of wonderful upgrades have happened in the outdoor play area since the new owners took over and more to come. Children are very spoilt here.”
“We’ve been sending our son to Red Kite since he was just 7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. After visiting several childcare centers in the Mt Albert/Owairaka area, this one stood out as the best in terms of its Amazing teachers, excellent management, and spacious, well-designed facilities. The teachers are consistently engaging, caring, and full of positive energy. Anita and Judy, the owners and managers of Red Kite, are outstanding—they create a welcoming and nurturing environment where children thrive. The team has supported my son through every stage of his development, from lifting his head to crawling, walking, running, talking and now even dancing! Thank you, Red Kite, for your dedication and care. I highly recommend visiting this center if you’re looking for a top-notch childcare experience.”
