Tots Corner is an early childhood centre in a historic villa on Onewa Road in Northcote, Auckland. It has been providing early childhood education and care since 1993, and it is licensed for 37 children from six months to school age. The villa has three learning spaces, a large garden with challenges for older children, and a separate safe, multi-sensory outdoor area for younger children.
The centre runs education and care from 7.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, and is open all year. Its curriculum is child-led, guided by Te Whāriki and the Reggio Emilia approach, and the centre treats the environment as its third teacher. The Education Review Office's 2023 report on the centre praised its child-led learning, its leadership and its strong connections with families. Tots Corner is part of the Northcote Community of Learners, alongside Northcote College, Northcote Intermediate, Northcote Primary, Onepoto and Willow Park Schools and Northcote Baptist Community Preschool.
