Education Update – August 2025

Spotlight on Learning Through Play Workshops 

Did you know…? 

• Our Learning Through Play workshops are designed for ADULTS to dive into the experience of learning through play, then use their increased understanding to support tamariki at both Playcentre and home. When was the last time you had the opportunity to carve out space just to play?! 

• You can attend face-to-face workshops at any Playcentre near you – even if you are on holiday in a different part of the country!  It’s a great chance to see other centres, check out their resources and hear what they do. 

• You can explore Learning Through Play workshops face-to-face, over interactive webinar, and even online through self-directed learning. 

• Playcentre Education workshops are hands on, interactive, and relevant to your experience as a parent/caregiver. 

• You can find out more about upcoming opportunities here: Upcoming Workshops and Online Modules | Playcentre.org.nz
