The Learning Space
About the Business
Welcome to The Learning Space, a unique establishment located in Auckland, Fleet Street, 7. As an institution that values relationships and partnerships, we believe in fostering equal partnerships between children, caregivers, whanau (extended family), community, and the environment.
At The Learning Space, our philosophy is rooted in the culture of kindness, which is evident in our caregiving moments and daily interactions. We strongly believe that children are valuable and free human beings, and we provide them with the opportunity to tune into their bodies and engage in play at all times. Our focus is on supporting each child's development and exploration at their own pace and readiness.
Through our carefully designed environment, we offer each child a sense of familiarity and consistency. Our teachers, who act as role models, embody the values of our center and embark on a journey of learning alongside the children. This empowers the child to express themselves in various ways and discover their unique identities.
Parent and whanau participation is integral to the daily life at The Learning Space. We embrace partnerships with local and wider communities, celebrating the rich diversity of languages and cultural significance that families bring to our everyday experiences.
As an institution, we recognize Te Whaariki as our curriculum document and acknowledge the Treaty of Waitangi and our partnership with Maori children and whanau. We draw inspiration from the principles and practices of Emmi Pikler and the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
The word "kindness" resonates with us as it speaks to the heart and is universally understood. Our care moments, daily practices, and interactions with each other and the environment establish our unique identity and culture as a community.
Children are our real teachers, and we believe in listening and watching carefully as they teach us about the lost world of carefree living in the present moment, as a Tibetan saying states. At The Learning Space, we navigate learning through each child's journey, encouraging them to explore, discover, wonder, and question in their play while supporting their thinking and curiosity. Our learning journey is filled with passion and joy.
As adults, we acknowledge and respect each child as a free and equal human being, treating them as equal partners in our relationships.
We are located at Building No. 5 C/o North Shore Hospital Grounds Shakespeare Road, Milford. Come and join us at The Learning Space, where relationships, kindness, and a love for learning thrive.

Reviews
"I can't speak highly enough of The Learning Space in Eden Terrace as a place to entrust the care of your most precious little family members. The only negative I can think of is that one day you may have to move if your child outgrows the space after the age of 3 - 3.5 y/o... but then anywhere you go after will feel like a step down. I sorely miss spending time with their awesome crew during dropoffs/pickups and getting to know the other little kids when my son was there. If TLS had a larger space to transition older toddlers into, and also did primary and secondary school I reckon we would've been there forever haha! If you are deliberating whether to choose TLS, I can confidently say you won't regret it... but you'll regret leaving them when it's sadly time to go! Hands down the best place for childcare of kids under-3."
"The learning space (TLS) is phenomenal and I couldn’t speak highly enough of the care provided here. The process of acclimating my daughter to the space was a love-filled, child-centered approach that made Tigerlily feel welcomed while simultaneously calming our fears about entrusting her care to others. The staff/aunties are attentive, thoughtful, loving and genuine. The collaborative approach provided by the aunties moves at Tigerlily’s pace to ensure her individuality is fostered and she feels safe. It has also allowed her uniqueness, independence, personality/temperament to flourish. My highest hope as a parent is to consistently remain in tune with my child’s strengths and evolving needs. I believe this will bring her the greatest happiness and allow her to live to her fullest potential. TLS and it's philosophy embodies my hopes for Tiger and the process to achieve this. It has been the perfect fit for us, and if every child had the best start in life like the one provided at TLS, then it is a bright future ahead. If it’s not yet apparent, I just love TLS and the connections/whanau we have developed here. We are sincerely grateful for such a wonderful place."
"We're so happy to have chosen The Learning Space to look after our 6 month old and haven't looked back once. Care takers have a genuine passion for helping children grow, become independent and learn great values. We always have 100% trust in every one there. The concept and philosophy at TLS are very special and unique, definitely worth checking out when considering daycare centres."
"Our son has been at The Learning Space since May 2015 and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives from the amazing staff there. They are always warm and welcoming, interested and enthusiastic, and really respect each child's needs and individuality. We love the bright, clean and natural environment of the centre, and all of the resources and activities that are on offer. We're so glad our son has had this fantastic start to daycare life!"
"The Learning Space is a really special place. I couldn't think of anywhere better for our little girl to grow, explore and discover. The staff are respectful of children as individuals, observant and reflective, patient and caring. Every day there are new, interesting provocations for our children to discover."
