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.
Reading the ECE Equity Index
This is a different scale to the schools Equity Index — see the full explanation.
- A lower number (1–4) means more funding eligibility — the opposite direction to schools.
