First Steps Tironui

First Steps Tironui offers quality childcare in Takanini, close to Papakura, the Southgate Shopping Centre and the southern motorway. Our multicultural centre is home to a dedicated team of qualified and professional staff – we are focused on providing the highest quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Join us for our Open Days, every Thursday from 9am to 11am. Drop in with your children under five for a tour of our centre, while your child takes part in creative art.

Regular upgrades to learning resources and equipment ensure children have lots of learning opportunities throughout the day. Our baby teachers are nurturing and passionate about supporting under two’s through the early development stages. We have a fantastic Be School Ready initiative which helps ensure your child has the basic skills they need for school. We work closely with Papakura Normal School and are very grateful to have been given this opportunity.

We invite you to visit us at First Steps Tironui and see how we can support your child into becoming a happy, confident learner.
