Wainui

Wainui Playcentre welcomes all new members. Playcentre is a great place to bring your children or grandchildren to play and learn in a relaxed setting. 

Our centre is located on the grounds of Wainui Beach School and has a view of the sea. We have great indoor and outdoor play spaces, including a large sandpit, mud kitchen and playground. Our grounds have large native trees and fruit trees for shade, in addition to large shade sails to protect children from the sun. 

All parents/caregivers attend alongside their tamariki and we also have a qualified supervisor on every session. 

Everyone is welcome. First 3 visits are free, after that we encourage you to enrol.

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!
