Belmont

Belmont Playcentre is a fun and friendly early childcare education centre based near the banks of the Hutt River in Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt. Easily accessed off the motorway down a quiet cul de sac with plenty of parking, we provide high quality learning experiences for our children. Our sessions are mixed age and open to 0-6 year olds, with a focus on child initiated play.

We believe that parents are the first and best teachers for their tamariki and support and encourage this on session and also through the opportunity to take part in free adult education courses and workshops.

We enjoy getting out into the community, taking trips and getting families together for social occasions.

Please feel free to drop into or contact our centre and have a chat to us. You can also check out more of what we get up to on our public Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BelmontPC); we look forward to meeting your family.

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!
