Te Kuiti Playcentre

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Te Kuiti Playcentre,

Te Kuiti Playcentre is a well-resourced, multi-cultural centre where we get together and have lots of fun! Come and check us out and make some new friends – we promise you a warm welcome and many friendly smiles.

We cater to children from birth to school age, with a dedicated Baby Sleep Room featuring cots and buggy parking. Our spacious outdoor area offers a bike riding track, swings and slides for all ages, a sun-shaded sandpit with integrated water play, a playground with a swing-bridge, climbing equipment, a carpentry zone with tools, lawn and garden spaces, and a covered area for meals and creative activities. Indoors, children can explore painting, collage, music, books, crafts, dress-ups, trains, a play kitchen and shop, a dolls area, and more. There are tables for morning tea and lunch, as well as a convenient shower cubicle. For adults, we provide a full kitchen with an oven, microwave, and dishwasher, a utility area with a washing machine, and a comfortable couch in the family space.

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!
