Lilchamps Onehunga is a family-owned, licensed early learning centre at 204 Captain Springs Road, Onehunga, Auckland. It takes children aged from 3 months to 6 years. The centre follows a play-based approach that blends Montessori philosophy with the Te Whāriki curriculum, and the site describes it as having spacious indoor areas and an outdoor play space rich in natural elements.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday, from 7:00 or 7:30am until 5:30 or 6:00pm. The centre offers 20 Hours ECE funding for 3 and 4-year-olds, along with a transition-to-school programme. The site describes the Onehunga centre as one of a small group of centres, which keeps numbers low so that each child has a personal relationship with their teachers. A parent quoted on the site says the staff knew their son's name and preferences within the first week. The phone number is 021 969 211.
