Blenheim Playcentre

Blenheim Playcentre Weekday sessions for 0-5 year olds. Playcentre offers children:
Daily sessions of mixed age groupings which allow siblings to attend together.

A variety of self-selected play activities and comprehensive quality equipment. High adult to child ratios. A brand new Outdoor Learning Environment. Playcentre acknowledges and supports parents as the first and most important educators of their children. Involvement of family/whānau is a key feature of Playcentre and parents and children learn together. Every Playcentre adult is offered free adul

t education that will give them the skills and confidence for parenting and working with children. The education environment at Playcentre includes a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities. With parent teams guiding and supporting children, they are introduced to the interests and skills of a wide range of parent- educators. Through learning in a supportive play environment, children develop the curiosity and courage to try new things and the motivation to extend themselves. Playcentres are co-operatively managed and supervised by parents with support from experienced Association and Federation personnel. Playcentre is committed to being bicultural. We honour and are guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We operate on partnership and encourage the use of te reo me ona tikanga Māori in Playcentre.

It might look like a pile of stuff to an adult. But the children on session today saw a boat to sail, a plank to walk, a side car to drive and so much more.

We enjoyed some loose parts play to extend the play of the tamariki on session today!

Exploring imaginative play, the sensory experience of gloop and then also developing little hands by squeezing bottles. It's amazing how much learning and fun can be had from a simple play provocation.
