39618 (2026). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Associate Minister of Education: How many, if any, children were attending early childhood centres during the week of August 24th 2026; broken down by region?

Hon David Seymour: I refer the Member to the attached table showing the number of children attending early childhood centres (ECE) during the week of 24 August 2026. Please note, children may be counted more than once if they attend multiple ECE services during the week. The sum of the regions will not match the national total, as national total includes data for ECE services where geographic information is unknown.
