Redwood Playcentre

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Redwood Playcentre,

Our Playcentre offers a welcoming space for children and adults to play and connect with one another. The safe, free play environment offers children the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities and experiences. We have a large outdoor area with lots of space for children to explore. Tamariki are encouraged to spend time outdoors all year round and enjoy a wide range of activities including the huge sandpit, mud kitchen and outdoor climbing equipment. There are often opportunities for messy and water play as well as lots of bikes and ride on toys 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!
