Playcentre Education Week
Playcentre Education Week saw us spread the joy of learning through play with 39 Learning through Play workshops held, and another 13 planned but held just outside of the week in the end. Huge thanks to our tutors, Centre Advisors and PLD facilitators for mobilising to make these workshops accessible to centre whānau right across the motu!
