Tiny Treasures Early Learning Centre is a licensed, privately owned early childhood education centre located at 67 Walmsley Road, Otahuhu, Auckland. We provide expert care, teaching and learning for children from birth to five years old in a warm, whānau-oriented environment that celebrates every child’s unique identity.
Our centre is proudly guided by the Te Whāriki Early Childhood Curriculum (NZ) and blends the Reggio emilia Philosophy to deliver rich, play-based learning experiences. With two dedicated homes, Teina (0–2 years) and Tuakana (2–5 years), we ensure every child feels safe, seen, and ready to grow.
“Ahakoa he iti he pounamu”
— Although it is small, it is a treasure.
Our holistic approach to early childhood education puts your child at the centre of everything we do. We combine structured learning with joyful, free-form play to nurture the whole child emotionally, socially and academically.
We warmly welcome families from all cultural backgrounds. Our curriculum honours the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand, upholding the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi — protection, participation and partnership.
Our diverse team of qualified, registered ECE teachers bring expertise, care and passion to the centre every day. We work in close collaboration with families to meet each family’s aspirations for their tamariki.
Our Teina home is a nurturing, secure environment specially designed for our youngest tamariki, from birth to two years old. With a maximum roll of 18 babies, our experienced teachers provide safe, expert care that supports healthy attachment, development and early learning milestones. Natural lawns and outdoor gardens create a calming, stimulating space for babies to explore.
Our Tuakana home is a vibrant, resource-rich learning environment for children aged two to five years, with a maximum roll of 32. Here, children grow as confident communicators, curious thinkers and capable learners — preparing them for school and life beyond.
