Service type specific funding

For the purposes of the ECE Funding Subsidy, licensed ECE services are grouped into two types:
- Teacher-led services (including home-based, education and care, and hospital-based services).
- Parent/whānau-led services.
Within each group there are separate rates for children aged under 2, and children aged 2 and over.
