Finding early childhood education in New Zealand

Early childhood services are licensed across 18 regions and come in several forms: free kindergartens, kōhanga reo for te reo Māori immersion, playcentres run by parents, private education and care services, homebased networks and hospital-based services. Most are approved for 20 Hours ECE, the government-funded 20 hours per week for three to five year olds.

Each service page shows the age breakdown of the roll, the number of children under two, ethnic composition, Equity Index band, funding type and full contact details — so you can compare services on the things that actually matter to families.
