About Takapuna Learning Space
Welcome to Takapuna Learning Space, located at 124 Shakespeare Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our institution is dedicated to providing a unique and nurturing learning environment for children.
At Takapuna Learning Space, our philosophy is centered around the importance of relationships. We believe in equal partnerships between children, caregivers, whanau (extended family), community, and the environment. These relationships are built on a foundation of kindness, which is evident in every caregiving moment and daily interaction.
We deeply value children as free and equal human beings, allowing them the freedom to tune into their bodies and engage in play. Each child is supported to develop and explore at their own pace and readiness. Our everyday environment is designed to offer familiarity and consistency, allowing each child to feel secure and confident. Communication is reciprocal, ensuring that each child's needs and interests are heard and respected.
Our teachers play a crucial role in modeling the values of our center. They embark on their own journeys of learning and growth, sharing their passion and joy with the children. This empowers each child to express themselves in various ways and discover their unique identities.
We strongly believe in the importance of parent and whanau participation. By embracing partnerships with local and wider communities, we celebrate the rich diversity of languages and cultural significance that families bring to our daily experiences. We acknowledge Te Whaariki as our curriculum document and the Treaty of Waitangi, recognizing our partnership with Maori children and whanau. We draw inspiration from the principles and practices of Emmi Pikler and the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
Kindness is at the heart of everything we do at Takapuna Learning Space. Through our care moments, daily practices, and interactions, we establish a strong sense of community and identity.
As a community, we believe that children are our greatest teachers. We listen and observe carefully, learning from their carefree living in the present moment. Learning is seen as a journey, and we encourage each child to explore, discover, wonder, and question through their play. We support their thinking and curiosity, fostering a learning journey filled with passion and joy.
In our relationships with children, we acknowledge them as free and equal human beings, treating them as equal partners. We understand the importance of building a strong foundation for their future.
We invite you to join us at Takapuna Learning Space, located at Building No. 5 C/o North Shore Hospital Grounds on Shakespeare Road, Milford. Experience our unique approach to learning and witness the transformative power of kindness and relationships in education.

Reviews of Takapuna Learning Space
"My daughter absolutely thrives at this daycare. Beautiful spaces for the children to play and interact. The Pipi team (Sumin, Frankie & Jess) are the most loving teachers. Their dedication to your child is incredible. I'm so sad to leave."
"My son attended this daycare for a few months, but we had to move overseas. We were so disappointed that Archer could no longer attend this daycare. He adores the caregivers and learnt so much in his time there. We would put him back in this daycare again, without question, and plan to when we return home"
"My son has been attending since he was 8mth old. He loves going to takapuna learning space, seeing his friends and exploring. I love that he is happy, learning and so well cared for. I really appreciate the great communication from staff."
"TLS is a respectful, caring centre and our son loves it here. He's been at TLS for about 2 years and right from the very beginning I could tell this centre was special. We are kept up to date with his daily activities and how he's progressing on his learning journey. Very highly recommended."
"This is a fantastic day-care, my daughter has been going there for two and a half years and I am really happy with the staff and the centre. I did my research and visited all of the daycare's in Takapuna before deciding on TLS and have not regretted my decision. I was really impressed with the settling in period initially and the fact that they always have primary carers making the transition to the different rooms as she has grown seemless. She has bonded really well with all of the teachers and they are all so great with the children and parents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this centre."
