Amberley Playcentre provides a nurturing, supportive and fun environment, where we create vibrant and long lasting memories and learning for adults and tamariki alike.
We value whanau/parents as first teachers of their tamariki. We believe in the value of child led, play based learning where tamariki are free to choose from a wide range of activities. We are a parent cooperative and value each member’s particular strengths and interests, we work together to maintain our centre promoting a strong sense of wellbeing and belonging.
Come and join us, together we create a fun learning environment so that everyone can flourish and grow.
Whanau playing, learning and growing together.
At Playcentre, early childhood education is a shared journey. We value parents as the first and best educators for their tamariki, which is why parents attend alongside their tamariki – to play, learn and grow together.
Whether you have a new pēpī, preschooler, or are new to a community, Playcentre provides a place for whānau and communities to come together.
If you care for tamariki aged 0-6, we invite you to visit and experience our affordable, unique, and child-led environment. Our centres encourage learning through free play and nurture imagination, confidence, and connection.
Our licensed early learning centres follow the Ministry of Education’s world-leading bicultural curriculum, Te Whāriki, offering 16 different areas of play set up to cater for different interests, skills, ages and abilities.
We also provide a free, NZQA-approved, adult education programme for enrolled whānau to add practical strategies and skills to your parenting toolbox.
We offer three visits before you enrol. Arrange a visit today and experience our supportive, fun and friendly community for yourself!
