Our Vision
Tui Art is committed to combining different teaching methods in children’s daily learning and emphasising artistic accomplishment. At Tui Art, teachers use fun, research-based, multisensory strategies to help children develop art appreciation, social skills, and initial literacy skills, including the alphabet, phonics and literacy, handwriting, and everyday math. Join Tui Art to lay a solid foundation for your child to enter primary school and for better learning in the future. Tui Art also cares about the well-being of parents, aiming to support them in many ways and create more value for our community.
Our Value
Children are active protagonists in their growing processes. Like every human being, every child is the constructor of knowledge, competence, and autonomy. At Tui Art, regardless of gender, ability, age, race and background, every child has an equal opportunity. We strive to provide a safe, secure, responsive and nurturing environment that supports the learning and development of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The goal of the kaiako/teacher is to create close and trusting relationships between them and their parents and to foster strong emotional development and attachment to the children. Learning through play and fun experiences is the key to a rich and quality education.

Robbie
Preschool Teacher
Kia ora koutou!
I’m Robbie, working in the preschool room. I was born on the North Shore and have lived my whole life in Browns Bay. After graduating, I became a swimming instructor and later worked as a teacher at a primary school before transitioning to ECE.
I believe in helping create a supportive, well-managed ECE centre where I can strive to become an excellent teacher and build positive relationships with our tamariki, staff and community. I have a passion for learning and development and expect my own knowledge will grow as I learn alongside everyone. I want to be part of a happy ECE centre where each child actually wants to be there. I will have mutual respect and clear, professional boundaries and form a successful partnership with our tamariki, whānau and the community. I believe every child is unique, and I want to guide our tamariki to be independent thinkers and learners, capable of developing to their full potential.
I look forward to working with everyone at Tui Art!
Kryllie
Preschool Teacher
Kia Ora, Hello, Ni Hao 你好，
My name is Kryllie, and I am from the northeast of China. I came to New Zealand when I was in high school.
I have completed a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education through AUT and have two and a half years of working experience in early childhood education centres. I have always been passionate about children. Each child is unique. I respect their personality, interests and ability to solve problems, and I actively respond to the child’s physical, emotional, social, and personality development and other needs. Also, children are encouraged to be loved, valued, respected and nurtured in a safe, calm and supportive environment to realise their uniqueness.
In my spare time, I enjoy baking, travelling and making candles.
I am very excited to be a part of the Tui Art family and looking forward to the journey we will create together!

Dear Tui ART parents and whānau,
My name is Ms. Florence Chan. I am so excited to join the Tui Art Early Learning Centre team. I was born and raised in Hong Kong. When I graduated from High School, I moved to New Zealand for University study. I graduated from the University of Auckland. I can speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
I love being an ECE teacher because young children are so adorable. It is a great opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their lives and myself.
I like playing the piano, reading, and playing badminton in my spare time. I also enjoy relaxing at the beach and gazing at the sea.
I am so excited to meet and get to know you and your child better.

Dear parents and whānau,
I’m Sameerah, but you can call me Sam. I’m from Iraq and moved to New Zealand in October 2022. With 20 years of experience teaching high school students in my home country, I’m thrilled to join this nursery as an unqualified teacher. New Zealand’s beauty and welcoming communities have captured my heart.
My passion for working with children drives me, and I’m eager to apply my skills and love for kids in this new role. I can’t wait to work closely with both the center’s team and parents to provide top-notch care and education. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Let’s embark on this learning journey together.
Dole
Teacher
Hello everyone,
My name is Dole Ledesma, and I have been part of the ECE sector since 2016. Most of my teaching experience has been based in Auckland, working in a range of settings including daycare centres and community-based early learning centres.
I genuinely enjoy teaching and love my work because it gives me the opportunity to learn, play, and grow alongside children of different age groups. What matters most to me as a teacher is being able to care for, support, and truly get to know each child.
I believe that every child is unique, and that their strengths and potential are discovered through strong, positive, and respectful relationships. Children deserve authentic care, support, and encouragement from their teachers. I strongly value and support Te Whāriki’s holistic approach to children’s learning and development.
I am really looking forward to meeting you all—my new Tui Art whānau and community—and I am excited to get to know each of your wonderful tamariki.
Nina
Relief Teacher
Kia Ora, parents and whānau,
My name is Nina, and I come from Dalian, a beautiful city in northeast China. I have lived in New Zealand for nine years, and my two lovely daughters were born in Auckland.
As a teacher, I respect their individuality and interests and encourage them to explore and discover new knowledge. Also, I will create a loving, sharing, calm and safe emotional relationship for children. I am easy-going, friendly, patient with children, and responsible for my work.
I look forward to building relationships with you and your loved little ones and spending quality time with them at the centre.
