About us

About Us

Treasured Tamariki Foundation Limited is a charitable early childhood education and care centre located in Brookfield, Tauranga. We proudly operate as a subsidiary of Mums4Mums Charitable Trust, supporting tamariki, whānau, and our wider community with compassion, care, and connection.

We weave together the guiding principles of Te Whāriki with a strong focus on character-building values, bicultural integrity, and culturally responsive practice. We warmly welcome families from all walks of life, with a special heart for solo parents, shift-working caregivers, and migrant whānau who may face extra challenges in accessing affordable, high-quality childcare.

Treasured Philosophy

Our philosophy is grounded in three guiding pillars:

  • Connecting (Tūhonohono)

  • Collaborating (Mahi Ngātahi)

  • Caring & Support (Manaaki/Tautoko).

These values inform everything we do — from how we build strong partnerships with families, to the way our kaiako create a nurturing environment where each child can flourish emotionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually.

Supporting our Parents and Pēpi

All profits from our centre are reinvested into improving our facilities, supporting our dedicated staff and volunteers, and extending support to vulnerable families in need. We also work in close alignment with Mums4Mums to ensure that new parents and their pēpi have wraparound support from birth through the early years.

At Treasured Tamariki, we don’t just educate — we uplift, empower, and walk alongside families to ensure every child has the best possible start.
