Early childhood education and care centre TAURIKO
Welcome to our Castle, a place where kings and queens, knights in shining armour, heroic princes and princesses will come to laugh, learn and play.
We have created a fairy tale castle for our Tauriko children, symbolic of the value we place on children and creating a sense of wonder and awe for all who visit. The playground is equally astonishing, with a bike track, water fountain, and a massive environment with big trees, giving the children plenty of space to run and play. Teachers use the environment to set up a range of activities for the children to explore throughout the day.
“If you have any questions about any of our centres you can call us on 07 579 5714 or fill in the form below and we will get back to you shortly”.

Meet our Educational Leader
Jasmine
Kia Ora e te whanau!
I’m Jasmine and I am the Educational Leader at Above and Beyond The Castle. I have been in Early Childhood since 2012 originally gaining my Bachelor of Education (Primary) from Bethlehem Tertiary Institue, followed by my Graduate Diploma in ECE in 2019. I have worked at centres across West and South Auckland before joining the Castle whanau in 2021 as I moved home to raise my two young girls- Lila who is 9 and Amelia who is 7.
I am passionate about supporting our tamariki to have magical, exciting and inspiring childhoods in a safe and loving environment where they are free to explor, grow and flourish and are valued for who they are and all of the amazing knowledge and gifts they bring with them.
I look forward to meeting you and showing you how magical your child’s days can be here as part of our Castle whanau!
