Welcome to Tūī Early Learners
We've been providing environments and experiences for children to play and learn in, since 1992.
As family-owned childcare centres, we understand what busy parents and their children are looking for in early childhood education.

Quality + Experience
You want to know that your child is receiving the best possible care. Almost all of our staff are fully qualified with a 3-year childcare degree and more than half our staff have been with Tūī longer than 5 years.
Whānau friendly
As a proudly family-owned business, at Tūī we understand that life isn't always predictable.
We open at 7am and close at 5.30pm. Talk to us about our flexible hours and 20 hours free for 3 and 4 year olds.

Learning in Nature
At Tūī, we're big on learning through exploring. Our nature-based playgrounds are more extensive than most city childcare centres.
Each term, our 4-year-olds have the opportunity to join an expedition into nature, for one day per week for 8 weeks, as part of our Nature Explorers Programme (NEP).
Mā te ahurei o te tamaiti e ārahi i ā tātou mahi
Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work
