Te Ako o te Tui Grafton Child Care Center

Welcome to Te Ako o te Tui Grafton Child Care Center, located at 11 Park Avenue, Auckland. Our purpose-built center is designed to cater to children aged 3 months to 5 years, and is situated within the beautiful Grafton Campus of the University of Auckland.

At Te Ako o te Tui, we believe in creating an environment that is filled with natural light and embraces a modern open plan design. This allows for a bright and stimulating space where children can thrive and explore their surroundings.

As an institution embedded within the unique multi-cultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand, we hold a deep respect for the Māori culture as Tangata Whenua and uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We celebrate and embrace the cultural, social, and linguistic diversity of our community. Our vision extends beyond national boundaries, aiming to create a center with both a national and international presence.

Our top priority is to provide a caring and aesthetic environment where the language, spirituality, and culture of every child is respected and celebrated. Each child is affirmed as an individual, and we promote collaborative relationships between the children, their families (Whānau), and our teachers (Kaiako). For our youngest children, we ensure a nurturing and responsive environment (Manaakitanga).

Within our center, we encourage and foster a love for lifelong learning. We provide a safe, secure, warm, and loving environment where the physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual well-being of children are valued and nurtured.

We pride ourselves on offering quality educational provision, supported by effective governance and a strong sense of community (Tangata Whenuatanga). Our leadership, teaching, and learning practices are of the highest standards, ensuring that your child receives the best possible care and education.

We invite you to join us at Te Ako o te Tui Grafton Child Care Center, where your child will be embraced in a culturally rich and nurturing environment. Visit us at 11 Park Avenue, Grafton Campus, and become a part of our vibrant and inclusive community.
