Piccolo Park Dannemora is a childcare centre on the corner of Chapel Road and Smales Road in East Tāmaki, and it includes the historic Smales Cottage. The cottage was built around 1894 as the dairy manager's house on the Reverend Gideon Smales farm, and it is one of the few historic buildings left in the Flat Bush and East Tāmaki area. The outside of the cottage is being restored as a covered play area, and its heritage status protects the exterior, while the inside is modernised for children. The centre opened in 2021 as the newest in the Piccolo Park family, which also runs centres at Sylvia Park, Botany Downs and Mt Richmond.
The centre is run by owners Rukshana and Narisa, who say they believe a child's early play is important for development and learning. The site is at 508 Chapel Road, and the phone number is 09 394 3355.
