Piopio

As a small rural community, our family and Whānau visit from far and wide. Piopio Playcentre provides a safe and secure environment for children to learn, with lots of emphasis on fun and learning through play.

Our children thrive in our purpose built Playcentre and playground areas, allowing for our children to make friendships, build confidence, all whilst learning alongside their parents and others.

We have access to lots of educational resources, parent led teaching and an abundance of social interaction for parents and families alike.

Come and join us for a morning of fun and lasting friendships.

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!
