What "20 Hours ECE" means

A government-funded scheme that covers part of the cost of early childhood education.

  • All 3- and 4-year-olds in New Zealand are entitled to up to 20 hours a week of funded ECE.
  • Not every service participates — some may still charge fees on top even where it applies.
