Volunteer of the Month

Our Volunteer of the Month – September 2022 is Marzena (Margi) from Ōtaki Playcentre.

Margi was nominated by her fellow centre members and will receive a $100 Playcentre Shop voucher in recognition of the contribution she has made to Ōtaki Playcentre.  “She’s done so much for our centre. She even attended without her own children to support us and keep us open when our qualifications were lacking.”

Do you know someone at your centre who deserves to be recognised?  Send us a nomination at [email protected]

Congratulations to Galatea Playcentre! They were the winners of our Playcentre Messy Play Week prize draw. They won a $100 Playcentre Shop voucher to help their centre restock their messy play supplies. Thank you to all those centres that sent in their photos for our Messy Play Week competition.  We had a huge number of entries with some amazing photos!
