Te Aroha

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Te Aroha Playcentre.

Te Aroha Playcentre is completely free for parents/caregivers and tamariki/children aged 0-6 years old to attend.  We believe in making Playcentre accessible for all. 

Our Playcentre values whānau/family as a fundamental part of our community.  Te Aroha Playcentre is well resourced with a huge outdoor play space that provides tamariki with opportunities to learn through play and follow their interests.  The real strength of Playcentre is that it acknowledges and supports parents/caregivers as the first and most important educators of their tamariki. 

Playcentre whānau receive a unique early childhood experience with opportunities for tamariki, parents and whānau to learn together.

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!
