Ohaupo

Ohaupo Playcentre are a lovely rural Playcentre with families from Ohaupo and the surrounding areas all coming to join in the fun. Our centre has fantastic facilities for children of all ages including a great big sandpit and playground, lots of bikes and outdoor equipment, musical instruments, dressups and plenty of arts and crafts! There is a baby sleep room for all new parents who have energetic toddlers to entertain but a baby who needs a nap mid-morning. We love to get out and be involved in local community events like school calf club and hot air balloons visits and at least once a term we like to visit the zoo, bike park, museum, airport or take the kids on another fun activity.

We are located on Forkert Road in Ohaupo township. We are very welcoming so please come on down and join us for one of our sessions.

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!
