PR Toolkit for PR Officer Holders
If you are the Public Relations (PR) Office Holder at your centre and you missed the online PR Officer Holder Presentation, you can download the PR Toolkit from our website.
Make sure you check out the PR and Communications section of our website too. There are a range of resources designed to support centres to attract new members and retain current members. You will need to login to the member-only area of our website to access these.
If you have questions regarding PR and Communications for your centre, please contact [email protected]
Google Listing for your centre
Before the start of Term 1 next year, please check your centre’s Google Business Listing is up to date and includes the correct address, phone number and open days/times. Please also ensure your category is listed as Education/Pre-School.
To do this just enter your Playcentre name into the Google search and this will come up.
We have been working to update the listings for all centres, however because Playcentre Aotearoa is not the business owner, we need someone from the centre email address to go in and verify/accept our edits.
If you are unable to verify the edits to your Google Business Listing, please email [email protected] and we can help you with this.
Who can I contact for support at Playcentre?
For day to day running of your centre, your Centre Advisor if your first point of contact.
They will be able to assist you or guide you to someone who can help you. If you are unsure who your Centre Advisor is, please contact your Regional Support Lead.
