Sport & School & Kindergarten in Auckland

“Started my dance journey here and have now considered this space my second home! Energy is always on point, the amount of growth that can take place in this studio is life changing and the director and choreographers there are top tier. I have never felt more comfortable and free than within TST Studios! Check it out for yourselves to begin an adventure like nothing youve ever experienced!”

“Latinissimo Dance is definitely the place to go if you are serious about technique and musicality. I totally recommend trying salsa on 2 at this school if you're considering it. The courses and levels are well structured and organised. Gian is very professional and puts a lot of effort into what he does. His assistant teachers have all been fantastic too. I really enjoyed the recent salsa immersion course over two weekends - an injection of content and practice (a great refresher with plenty of new challenges). Thanks and see you again soon”

“Such an amazing vibe!! Absolutely loved my lesson, Coby and Gaby are also amazing!!! Everyone is so welcoming, I was so nervous at first but absolutely loved it because of the awesome people :))”

“My daughters have been going here for many years and it has been such a positive experience for them. It has taught them great sportsmanship, dance skills and built their confidence. They absolutely love the teachers and being part of the studio!”

“My husband and I decided to go to ADC to learn some dancing lessons for our first dance for our wedding. We really loved every moment of learning everything. We reached out to the ADC team hoping to learn something classic and simple for our wedding dance. With Kim's guidance, we came out with so much more: memorable and super fun dance sessions, vocal coaching here and there, and even performing at the latest ADC Show. All of this culminated in a meticulously crafted, show-stopping wedding dance which all our family & friends absolutely loved! Everything was way over and beyond what we dreamed of, but we found that pushing what we thought we were capable of was such a good decision. We were able to so easily pick up the dance with the perfect amount of practise - all within a positive, energetic environment. Thank you so much team for the dedication and thank you for the lessons and all the chats we had! It felt like bonding nights and date nights whenever we had our sessions. We appreciate every request we made to change things to accommodate. After all is said and done, we really couldn't recommend ADC enough as more than just a place to learn how to dance, but as a place to let your untapped talent & creativity shine.”

“We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old attending Henderson Learning Adventures and both absolutely love going. The teachers are amazing and the care and attention that goes into their mahi can really be felt. Sending our children in to learning adventures feels like an extension of our whānau and we know they are being loved and cared for.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our daughter absolutely loves being part of the Renaissance School of Dance! The teachers are warm, supportive, and so talented. She looks forward to every class and has grown in both skill and confidence since joining. The performances are always fabulous – beautifully organised and such a joy to watch.”

“My family (both myself and my children) have been enrolled at Dance First for many years now. It’s a place of joy and friendship and it is an absolute delight to attend class each week and share my passion with like-minded people. Its such a safe and supportive environment for all abilities and levels of experience and always embraces such lovely community spirit. The teachers are truly beautiful people, who give so much time and enthusiasm to every class. The annual shows are a huge amount of fun!”

“As new immigrants to New Zealand, we were quite stressed about how our two-year-old son would manage without us in daycare, especially since both of us work full-time. It was our first time leaving him in a care center, but Pitter Patter has been absolutely amazing. The staff are wonderful and handle our son with such care and attention. He’s learning so much every day, and we no longer worry about his meals, sleep, or how he’s adjusting in a new country. Pitter Patter has truly made this transition easier for our family....”

“We absolutely love Little Pohutukawa! The teachers are incredible – always warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in the kids’ wellbeing. Both of our children attend and absolutely love going to “school” each day. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in a caring, nurturing, and fun environment. We’ve seen them thrive and grow so much thanks to the amazing team. We would highly recommend Little Pohutukawa to any parents considering childcare.”

“My son has been going to Kindy Cottage from age 1 and he is now getting ready to leave and go to school. We have had a fantastic experience with Kindy Cottage throughout his whole journey. The owners and the teachers all care passionately about the children and their wellbeing. The spaces that are available for the children are safe, clean, relaxed and well thought out. I have really appreciated the time the teachers have spent to understand what inspires my son and provide learning tools that he loves. I believe he has been given everything he needs to be ready for school. He is a confident happy boy. Thank you Kindy Cottage.”

“After trying several martial art styles and studios over the years on the Coast, we finally found the perfect fit. My daughter has been attending Daehan for the past couple of years, and I can’t emphasize enough how fantastic the team is. It’s not just about learning martial arts — they instill values like respect, discipline, resilience, and so much more. Truly an outstanding environment for young learners.”

“Best atmosphere, nice and friendly people. Great coaches.”

“If you're looking for a studio to join I highly recommend Limitless Studio! The teachers & students are some of the nicest people I have ever met, so it's a great place to meet new people and the atmosphere is really welcoming. Each teacher & class varies between flow, dynamics, flex or static movements, so depending on what you're trying work on there's always a class to match your vibe. I've improved on my hoop skills significantly since joining and even managed master some flair moves that I've been trying to get for years.”

“I have just returned home from the best 3 months of my life thanks to NZIIU! They made the whole process of my exchange easy to handle with the least possible stress. I was well prepared before my departure with lots of information about how I could deal with problems that may arise while over in Germany, and I had my local coordinator which I could talk to about any worries I had. The host family I was placed in was better than anything that I could have ever imagined, they were the perfect fit for me which just made my trip even more amazing. I definitely recommend NZIIU for anyone looking to do an exchange, fantastic organisation that really cares about its students.”

“I highly recommend the NZHIF if you are thinking of joining the health and fitness industry!!! A massive thank you to our tutor Gary Hodgson who made our learning environment fun and interactive while outlining clear outcomes. Gary has experience as a successful PT and was informative with great knowledge. I was a little nervous as a mature student however all the students were very welcoming! The Manukau campus was fantastic, a great facility and with easy parking. Thank you for an awesome course and Im looking forward to my fitness and wellness career!!”

“Very professional schools and teachers. As parents If you want good grades, it is not only the teacher's responsibility but also the parents and children's efforts and self-discipline. I am very fortunate to be able to choose such a professional school, which will have different course choices according to the children's abilities and interests. We are very relieved to attend classes in such a school!”

“As an intermediate wing foiler from Europe, I made a material rental for a session in Lake Pupuke with madloop a few days a ago. Alan set me up with the right setup for my level of expertise and the wind conditions, which shows he knows what he is doing and listens to his customers. We also had a very nice chat with Alan which is clearly very driven and knowledgeable in the wing foil sports.”

“The instructors here are kind and professional. They explain the techniques in details and make the swimming learning more fun for kids. My daughter has started the swimming training here. She will continue her swimming practice here. Very happy to recommend the Aqua Artist Swim School to anyone who wants to learn how to swim well.”

“I am delighted with the care and attention my child has received during their first month at BestStart Albany. The staff have created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where my child feels welcomed and supported. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for the children truly stand out. I have complete confidence in recommending BestStart Albany to anyone seeking quality childcare. Keep up the good work team.”

“Really accomodating, great culture with very encouraging coaches and the price is just right. Possibly the best MMA gym in Auckland”

“Both my kids have attended this preschool from 6 months to 5 years old and we have never had an issue with this centre. The staff are kind, friendly and you can see they love what they do. The centre is always clean and the food made there - my kids say it’s amazing!”

“I have been going to EMT for almost half a year now and I have seen great improvement in my maths. One big thing is that when I joined EMT I needed help for my year 10 numeracy exams. With only a few weeks left to the exams EMT managed to help boost my performance and confidence in math. I passed the numeracy exam perfectly with no worries and I also look forward to achieving more with EMT ‘s help!!”

“We absolutely love BestStart Newton! The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about each child's growth and happiness. Our son has blossomed since joining—he's more confident, curious, and excited to learn every day. The environment is nurturing, the activities are engaging, and the staff go above and beyond to create a fun and safe space for kids. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a wonderful early education setting!”

“Great fun and exercise, taught by passionate and dedicated instructors! I like how there are multiple times for classes you can go to each week, which helps taekwondo fit into my busy schedule”

“Living far away from our families, FAME Preschool quickly became our family-away-from-home. We couldn't have wished for a better place to introduce our 2 daughters to the school system. The team is warm, welcoming, engaging, professional and fun. They have taken such well care of our little ones as well as of us as a family at times of need. We would highly recommend!”

“The most caring, nurturing group of teachers, they really are amazing! Will be forever grateful for the love my daughter receives, she loves being an Active Explorer!! A fantastic thought out centre with ample outdoor space and heaps of daily creativity through sensory/messy play, which i love getting updates on throughout my working day! Made my transition back to work as easy as it could be. Fab management as well as healthy food and snacks.”

“I highly recommend Equippers Kids to all parents looking for a daycare that keeps you well-informed, is based on Christian values and ensures the upmost safety of your child. As first time parents, we had been searching for a child care centre that made us feel at ease when we had to go back to work. We visited over 12 different centres across Central and South Auckland and Equippers kids was a real standout. The teacher to child ratio is fantastic, there are rooms & playgrounds dedicated to each age group so we didn't have to worry about our son getting bowled over by bigger kids, and they follow a wonderful education curriculum. Some of the activities our son gets to do has really helped his development. I also noticed that he has really flourished when it comes to his social skills - he has grown in to a very confident young boy. We started our son when he was 13 months and have had no regrets. The biggest sign for us that it is a great place to be, is that our son walks in to the centre and waves goodbye to us with a big smile on his face. He is excited to go to school each day and for parents whom were nervous to leave our son in the care of others, there is nothing more reaffirming! If you are considering Equippers kids, you have come to the right place! It is also very affordable considering that they are fed multiple healthy meals & snacks a day and provide nappies. If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would!”

“Great college very supportive teachers”

“I met some most incredibly amazing kids there:) The principal Mrs Dale is dedicated and focused educator. The curriculum and activities are very rich and diverse: science, art, music, sports, cultural. Lucky kids!”
