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.
