Aramoho Playcentre

Naumai haere mai and welcome to Aramoho Playcentre,

Our centre is set in large, natural grounds to the side of Churton School where our tamariki are safe to roam/ride/roll down the hills while our frequent Tui or Kereru visitors chortle in the trees above. Inside is spacious and has a very welcoming feel with a wide range of play activities for all to enjoy. We ensure we allow for children to initiate their own play by having many different areas to choose from both inside and out such as painting, carpentry, water play, dress-ups, playdough, puzzles, music, and clay.

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!
