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. 

Spaces availability as at 28th August 2025.

We enroll infants in cohorts of similar aged children from aged 6 months to 1 year old. We prioritise enquiries of 5 or 4 days due to the small size of the cohorts.

We have 1 space in the next cohort intake, for late November 2025. A Mon, Thu, Fri space is available from May 2026 for a 4th infant who must be 1 year of age on that date.

Our January 2026 cohort is now full. We have 1 Tuesday, Thursday, Friday space available from June 2026 for a 4th infant for this cohort.

We may have 1 space for child aged 2years - 2 years 9 months, with a ratio of 1:4.

There is 1 full time space, and 1 four day space (not Tuesday) for children aged 3-5 years.

Please complete the form below to enquire about TLC. We will get in touch with you to arrange a tour.

Please note: while we have a 3 day minimum, we never offer Tuesday-Thursday to 3 day children. Priority is also given to applicants wanting 4-5 days if a full time space is available.
