Pāpāmoa Playcentre

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Pāpāmoa Playcentre

We are an amazingly vibrant, busy and supportive centre in the heart of Pāpāmoa. We are a stones throw from the golden sandy shores of Pāpāmoa Beach and right across the road from Pāpāmoa Primary School. Our members are a diverse mix of nationalities that collectively bring a huge range of talents and skills that help to run our thriving centre. Our members are actively involved in the management of the centre and enjoy taking part in the Adult Education programme.

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!
