Our village becomes your village at Playcentre: fun and friendship for you and your children in endless experiences that last a lifetime.

At Playcentre parents and whānau are the carers. Together we build a village where your whole family is connected and thrives.

Mixed aged sessions for tamariki aged 0-6 years and their whānau.

Ngā Mata o Te Ariki – Eyes of God

I a tau i te marama o Pipiri ka hoki mai a Matariki, ā, ka puta ia i te ata hapara hei whakanui i te ao koiora.

Every year in the month of June, Matariki returns and appears in the morning sky to celebrate all of existence.

“Friendships that you establish in early childhood, and the social skills that underpin those, are more of an indicator of the child’s future academic success than any of the cognitive outputs (like colours, alphabet and numbers)”. 

Neuroscience Educator, Nathan Wallis

Because parents, whānau and caregivers attend Playcentre we have a high adult to child ratio. This allows Playcentre to offer a child initiated programme based on the individual child’s strengths and interests.
