Arc Assistant Learning Tower: A Safe & Stylish Must-Have for Kiwi Toddlers

What Is a Learning Tower & Why Do Parents Love Them?

A learning tower (also known as a Kitchen Helper or Toddler Tower) is a child-sized platform that lifts toddlers to stand up at bench height so they can safely participate in everyday tasks. Unlike regular stools, learning towers have enclosed sides, providing extra safety for active little ones, so they can’t fall out the back or sides.

 

 

Learning towers support:

  • Independence and confidence
  • Fine and gross motor skill development
  • Parent-child bonding through shared tasks

 

Introducing the Arc Assistant Learning Tower – NZ’s only Toddler Tower that has safety compliance (per this checklist), a great Consumer NZ Review and advocacy from Nathan Wallis, Neuroscience Educator on the importance of a child’s first 1000 days.

 

Designed and made in New Zealand, the Arc Assistant Learning Tower stands out for its safety features, beautiful design, and functionality. It's trusted by thousands of Kiwis for good reason.

  • Patented Outrigger Balance Feet for crucial stability

Why the Arc Assistant Is More Than Just a Learning Tower

 

1. Encourages Safe, Independent Exploration as soon as little ones can stand confidently unaided without falling over.

Toddlers are naturally curious. The Arc Assistant safely lifts them to counter height, allowing them to join in at the kitchen bench, wash hands at the bathroom sink, or help with mealtime. It’s a game-changer for daily routines and child development.

As highlighted by neuroscience educator Nathan Wallis, early childhood is the most crucial period for brain development. The Arc Assistant safely encourages:

  • Cognitive growth through participation in real-world tasks
  • Motor skills through actions like pouring, reaching, and standing
  • Social-emotional confidence by feeling included and capable
