Whether you have a new baby, or you are new to a community, Playcentre provides a place for babies, young children and parents to come together. Members enjoy a strong sense of belonging, and friendships flourish.
Watch your child’s confidence grow as they explore and foster their imagination through play and interaction with other children aged 0-6.
From building sandcastles to baking biscuits, painting to singing, working with wood to cutting shapes in playdough: every session will captivate your child and excite them.
Be involved with your child’s learning; play with them and alongside them.
Encourage children to interact with others while you meet other parents and educators and become part of a fun, vibrant community where community and a sense of belonging is at the heart of everything we do.

Welcome to our Village.
Where whānau and tamariki play, learn and grow together.
Find your village at Playcentre: Fun and friendship for you and your tamariki, alongside learning experiences that last a lifetime.
“Playcentre is a great way to get to know people in a new area. They provide awesome play experiences and some great parent education, so you learn alongside your child,” – Sarah, Playcentre parent.
Come along for a free visit and experience Playcentre for yourself. New whānau are always welcome.
Playcentres welcome children from age 0-6, and infants are welcome to attend most Playcentre sessions and participate in the regular activities.
However, we also offer more specialised sessions where there is a real focus on the needs of newborns to 1 year olds, as well as the support and friendship of other new parents.
