South Brighton

Surrounded by the natural beauty of our lush greenery, every visit to our playcentre is an opportunity for tamariki to explore, discover, and learn in a nurturing environment. Our outdoor space is more than just a playground; it’s a canvas for imagination and adventure, where every tree holds a story and every corner invites exploration.

At South Brighton Playcentre, we believe in the power of community. Our whānau come together to build connections, sharing laughter, experiences, and the joy of watching our tamariki flourish. Through collaborative projects and shared experiences, we strengthen the bonds that unite us, creating a vibrant tapestry of belonging and support.

Join us at South Brighton Playcentre, where nature and community intertwine to create magical moments and lifelong memories. Come discover the wonder of childhood amidst the beauty of our native trees and the warmth of our welcoming community.

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!
