20 Hours ECE at Marlborough Montessori
A practical guide for Glenfield and North Shore families who want to understand how 20 Hours ECE may apply at Marlborough Montessori Preschool.
What is 20 Hours ECE?
20 Hours ECE is government-funded early childhood education available for eligible children in New Zealand. At Marlborough Montessori, we can talk you through how the funding may apply to your child’s enrolment, attendance pattern and session choices.
How it works at our Glenfield preschool
We offer half-day and full-day options. Funding arrangements depend on your child’s eligibility and the attendance pattern you agree with us. We will explain the current fee schedule, funded hours and any charges that may apply beyond funded entitlement before you enrol.
What should I ask when arranging a tour?
- Whether your child is eligible for 20 Hours ECE.
- How funding fits with the days and sessions you are considering.
- What the current fee schedule includes.
- How changes to attendance may affect your arrangement.
Because individual circumstances differ, this page is a general guide rather than a fee quote. Please contact us for the current details that apply to your child.
Why visit before deciding?
Funding matters, but so does finding the right environment. A tour lets you see our prepared Montessori classroom, meet our teachers and talk through your child’s interests, settling-in needs, sessions and funding in one conversation.
