Eligibility for the 20 Hours ECE Subsidy
When considering your 20 Hours ECE eligibility, it is always a good idea to check the government website for the most current situation. As of 2023 in order to fulfill the 20 hours ECE eligibility requirements your child must be aged between 2 and 5 years old and attending an approved early childhood education service. There are also income and residency requirements that must be met. For example, you must be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident and meet certain income thresholds to qualify for the subsidy.
More information about the subsidy can be found through the government official website and should be checked if any changes should occur.
Our Early Learning Daycare Programs
Our early learning daycare programs are designed to help your child develop their confidence and learn a host of important skills that will help them on the road of preparing for school. Our programs include activities like reading, writing, and socialization, and are tailored to the age and developmental level of each child. We believe that early learning is key to future academic success, and we are committed to providing a stimulating and supportive environment for all children.
One of the things we pride ourself on is our ability to engage kids through the act of play. Though play, children have the incredible ability to forge new and strengthen existing neural pathways, form emotional connections to those around them, and develop practical skills that may seem entirely unrelated to the actual task they’re taking on. For example, playing make-believe with toys can help kid’s develop their imaginations, story telling, problem solving, and manners. Playing with cars, blocks, and dolls helps kids of all ages learn and finesse their fine motor skills. There’s no end to the incredible ways that play can help your little one develop not just their skills and understanding, but their sheer ability to learn well.

Is play really that important for kids learning? Shouldn’t they be learning more formally?
While there is a place for formal learning, especially as kids get older, but play is very important throughout the learning process. Through play the kids we look after learn vital social skills. Learning these social skills as a child is an essential part of growing up as it lays the foundation for healthy social interactions throughout life.
Children who develop their strong social skills early on are more likely to be able to build positive and productive relationships with their peers, adults, and authority figures throughout their childhood and into adult life. They tend to be more equipped to communicate their needs to others, understand and respect others’ needs, and therefore be able to manage and resolve conflicts more effectively than other children.
Additionally, children with strong social skills tend to have higher self-esteem, better academic performance, and are more likely to succeed in their personal and professional lives.
All this from being allowed to play and learn through it!
