Greenhithe

Located in the wide open space of Collins Park, Greenhithe Playcentre offers a unique and friendly learning environment for you and your children. It is an early childhood centre run by parents as volunteers. Greenhithe Playcentre is a special place where you can play, learn and have fun alongside your children in a safe and caring environment.

We have a wide variety of activities available to all children aged 0-6 years with 16 areas of play set up each day allowing children to discover and make their own choices about play and activities including sand, water, paint, clay, collage, cooking, blocks, music, books, face painting and many more in a safe and exciting environment.

We are committed to providing quality early childhood education for children under six with a focus on learning and development in a nurturing environment. There is an extensive range of educational resources to challenge, excite and extend your children.

Greenhithe has a community spirit which runs in the veins of our centre, it is a great place to develop friendships and support networks within the community. This ultimately makes Playcentre a great place for the whole family to enjoy.

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!
