TLC The Learning Centre™

Because Every Child Flourishes With TLC

The Learning Centre in Ponsonby, also known as TLC, is a full day childcare centre, which provides the highest quality of care, with small group sizes, the best teacher to child ratios, and caring, dedicated and qualified teachers. In a villa in Ponsonby, the emphasis is on providing a homely, natural environment with healthy food, and genuinely caring caregiving. 

At TLC The Learning Centre™ we are inspired by the principles of Magda Gerber’s Educaring® approach and Pikler and operate under the guidelines of the New Zealand early childhood curriculum - Te Whāriki. 

The principles of Magda Gerber’s Educaring® Approach and the Pikler philosophy are that the focus is on the child. 

TLC The Learning Centre™ values the importance of relationships and builds on respectful interactions between children and educators. The focus of Te Whāriki is also on the child and how we value the different relationships children can learn from as they grow and develop. 

Together Te Whāriki, Pikler and Magda Gerber’s Educaring® Approach create a curriculum with an emphasis on education and care.
