Wallaceville

Wallaceville Playcentre offers quality early childhood education and is a fantastic place for your child to have fun, learn great skills and get enjoyment from interacting with other children and adults.

We run morning sessions in the week, email us to see which sessions have spaces. Our sessions are on Wednesdays and Thursdays 9.30am-12pm. Our sessions are run by dedicated teams of mothers, fathers, grandparents and caregivers

Play is set up or available throughout the session and includes areas such as playdough, arts and crafts, collages, painting, baking, storytime, puzzles, dress-ups, role playing, sandpit, confidence course, waterplay etc. We love going on trips out into the community and examples of past trips are: Harcourt Park, Wellington Zoo, fire station, Upper Hutt Library Storytime, and Avalon Park bike track.

All visitors are welcome to come along and see what we do before enrolling at our centre. So if you and your child(ren) would like to be part of our Playcentre whānau give us a call for some more information. We look forward to meeting you.

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!
