At Tiny Voices, we provide high-quality care and education for children in a beautiful purpose-built environment from birth to the ages of 6. Our learning journey starts here.
We believe that children learn and develop in an early childhood environment where the teacher has a respectful image of children as being competent and capable young people.
The teachers role is a co-researcher and co- constructor in the learning process which allows children to explore, question, reflect, problem solve, theorise and encourage self-expression.
Our programming is based on observing children on a regular basis, evaluating their needs and planning activities from these observations.
Each child will be guided to develop at an individual pace according to his or her unique, individual way. Programmes are founded on the guiding principles of Te Whaariki the early childhood curriculum from the Ministry of Education and ideas, practices and values from Reggio Emilia.
We practice and preach multicultural and non-gender stereotyped behaviour. We believe that play is central to children’s development and provide opportunities for both structured and spontaneous activities. Play is a child’s unique way to learn about their world. We aim to provide opportunities for boys and girls to play freely regardless of any stereotype roles they may choose.
We endeavour to provide an atmosphere that is warm, accepting and welcoming to both children and their families.
Each of our centres are brand new with cutting edge design, technology and playgrounds allowing children to contribute to their own learning through the relationships they form and the experiences they have. The centres have been specifically created by a curated group of specialists.
Our general manager, Sophie Taylor, brings over 10 years of knowledge and experience. Having run 8 childcare centers in New Zealand.

At Tiny Voices we know the relationship between nutrition, health and learning is undeniably strong, with nutrition being one of the major factors that impact a child's development. Nutrition in a child's early years is linked to their health and academic performance in later years.
Our children are provided 3 nutritious meals a day that have been designed by Jess Daniell from Jess' Underground Kitchen.

Hi, I'm Sophie Taylor. I hold a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and have worked in the ECE sector for over ten years. Before beginning my teaching career, I worked in customer service and hospitality management, where I developed strong skills in leadership, business management and building meaningful relationships.
Since starting as a Teacher in Training, I've progressed through roles including Head Teacher, Centre Manager, Centre Support Manager, Area Manager, and now General Manager at Tiny Voices. Throughout my career I've been passionate about mentoring teachers and leaders, supporting succession planning, and helping teams grow through strengths-based leadership and practical guidance.I believe in servant leadership and the power of strong relationships, communication and collaboration.
My focus is on creating positive outcomes for our tamariki, their whānau, and the educators who support them every day. Outside of work, I'm married to Lee and we're raising our two children, Scarlett and Benjamin. I also enjoy baking, running and spending time with my family exploring Auckland's North Shore beaches.
