20 hours ECE:
We provide the Ministry of Education’s Early Childhood Education (ECE) for 3, 4 & 5 year olds. Under this policy, children are entitled to 20 hours Early Childhood Education per week.
Ministry of Education funds 3, 4 and 5 year olds 20 hours of Early Childhood Education each week. To access this, the child must be enrolled at a teacher-led ECE service (such as Peninsula Community Preschool) and some Kohanga Reo. Those 20 hours can only be claimed for up to 6 hours each day, during which time no fees will be charged to the parents.
Parents may be able to access additional subsidies through Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) if they meet funding criteria. 
For more details on the 20 hours ECE policy please see the 20 hours ECE, or go to the Ministry of Education website and read more about the policy under the Early Childhood section of the website.
