Blueskin

We are a small parent-led centre, located next to Waitati Kura. Our families live in the Blueskin area and enjoy being involved with our playcentre community. We have a love of the natural environment, growing food, playing outside, music, art and child-led learning. Visitors always welcome! We’re open Mon, Tues, Wed 9-12, during term times only. Please use the parking lot on the main road, walk down the school drive – we can be found at the end of the drive.

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!
