About Us

"We are 
passionate
about what we
sell & we value
our customers"
  

Teacher Direct was set up in 1999 by Ruth, 
an ex school teacher, from our first office in 
Seaview, Lower Hutt. Ruth’s passion for 
providing great resources for children has fueled 
Teacher Direct into our current team of 13.

Our Seaview based warehouse boasts over 8000 
products. Our great dispatch team takes pride in 
picking, packing and sending out your orders as 
quickly as possible. Our friendly, helpful, customer 
care team is always ready to take your orders and 
provide advice on what resources will suit you best.
We provide quality resources for Early Childcare 
Centres, Schools and Parent/Grandparents that
want the best for the children in their lives.

We are passionate about what we sell and we value 
our customers highly. You can be guaranteed that 
our high quality, safe products will be backed up with 
the best service around.
