Why Playcentre?
We are unique! We value parents as the first and best educators for their tamariki, so whฤnau attend with their tamariki to play, learn and grow together. We cater for tamariki from birth to school age and are licensed early childhood education (ECE) services.

Bird Week โ What a Fun Week! ๐ฆ
Weโve had a wonderful week celebrating Bird Week! We made binoculars to spot birds in the trees, created bird masks, and made bird scarers to help deter birds from nesting under our outdoor covered area. We also enjoyed reading books and learning about some of New Zealandโs Bird of the Year winners.
Weโve also loved watching the school children next door feed and care for their lambs as they prepare for Calf Club. What a special experience for our tamariki!
