About Roots Montessori Early Learning Centre
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 Roots Montessori Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We are incredibly happy with our experience at Roots Montessori Early Learning Centre. Our son Kairav has been attending the centre, and we’ve seen such wonderful growth in his learning, social development, and overall confidence. The entire staff is warm, caring, and professional. Each teacher truly invests in the children, creating a nurturing and engaging environment that feels like a second home. The Centre Manager, Faye, is an exceptional person—kind, approachable, and always ready to support both children and parents. Her leadership reflects in the smooth functioning and positive atmosphere of the centre. As parents, we feel confident and reassured knowing that Kairav is in such capable and compassionate hands. We are genuinely grateful to the whole team at Roots Montessori for giving our child such a beautiful start to his learning journey. Highly recommend to all families looking for a safe, loving, and enriching early childhood centre.”
