Playcentre Open Week
17-21 August 2026
You’re invited to Playcentre Open Week
Playcentre Open Week runs from Monday 17th to Friday 21st August 2026.
If you have a baby or preschooler, come along and experience early learning where whānau and tamariki play, learn and grow together in a supportive community.
At Playcentre early learning is a shared journey. For over 85 years, we’ve supported parents as the first and best educators for their tamariki, which is why parents attend and learn alongside their children—helping build confidence, connection, and belonging.
Our licensed centres follow the Ministry of Education’s curriculum, Te Whāriki, supporting learning through play for all ages and stages.
Your child will enjoy a range of play experiences, from messy and outdoor play to arts, music, and water exploration.
You’ll also gain access to a free NZQA-accredited programme, helping you build practical parenting skills and strategies to support your child’s learning.
We offer three visits before you enrol, so you can experience our supportive and welcoming community for yourself.
With nearly 400 centres across Aotearoa, there’s one near you.
If you can’t make it during Open Week, not to worry, we welcome new whānau any time. Take a look at what we offer below and discover the experiences, support, and opportunities available for you and your tamariki.
