Is it childcare, or is it just keeping children busy until pick-up?
At Small Sprouts, we believe early learning should feel like more than that.
For tamariki aged 2 and over, enrol before 30 June and receive 9am-3pm sessions free.
That means no lunchboxes, no rushed packed snacks, and no wondering if your little one is just being “looked after”.
Instead, think messy play, outdoor exploring, warm kaiako, real friendships, nourishing kai, and a boutique early learning environment where tamariki are known, not just counted.
We’re based in Whangaparāoa and would love to welcome local whānau in for a visit.
Spaces are limited, so message us today to book a tour.

Little Leaps Dance Class 🪩 today at Small Sprouts Early Learning in Stanmore Bay!
Tiny walnut boats. Toothpick sails. Full-scale chaos.
Meanwhile adults spend hundreds on “educational toys” while children are out here turning a bowl of water into the America’s Cup. 🌊⛵️
No batteries. No screens. Just tiny humans arguing over boat speed, engineering flaws, and who “cheated” by blowing on the water harder.
Honestly… this is what childhood should look like. 🌱

It's the small things 🤍
The feel of the water beneath their hands, an imaginary world to explore, or the focus onto pin those the pegs on the matching colour.
Each day brings new experiences, new challenges and opportunities to learn for us here at Small Sprouts in Stanmore Bay.

You’re not just choosing childcare. You’re choosing the people who will help your child feel safe, loved and ready to grow.
Because let’s be honest, not all early learning centres feel the same.
At Small Sprouts, we’re family-owned, heart-led and focused on creating a place where tamariki are known, nurtured and truly belong.
Come and see what makes us different.

Pink Shirt Day 🩷 All about kindness and friendship here at Small Sprouts Early Learning in Whangaparaoa
Honestly, Miss Claire could probably start a toddler dance crew at this point. 🕺🌱
Every Tuesday our tamariki are moving, grooving, giggling, and absolutely showing up the adults with their confidence levels.
Little Leaps Dance with is all part of the Small Sprouts experience and one of the highlights of our week.
