Our village becomes your village at Playcentre: fun and friendship for you and your children in endless experiences that last a lifetime.
Playcentre is your village. See children delight in their surroundings- play with them, alongside them, encourage them to interact with others while you meet other parents and educators.
Parents are the first educators of children, and Playcentres around New Zealand foster the involvement of whānau through early childhood education.
As a family, and as a community, you’ll build your own village with Playcentre: making life-long friends along the way.
A focus on child-led learning means that each day Playcentres offer a variety of learning and play experiences such as building, baking, painting, dressing up, singing and sand and water play.
Each Playcentre around New Zealand is cooperatively managed by parents and supported by Playcentre Aotearoa and Federation staff at a national level.
Every Playcentre offers three free visits, so come along for a visit and see what we’re all about! We would love to meet you and your whānau.
