Leamington Playcentre

It's Playcentre Aotearoa Education Week! 📖🎓✏🧠

Did you know - At Playcentre we offer free ECE education up to Level 4!
This helps whanau and carers learn so much more about their tamariki which can be used at Playcentre, home, and even in the future.

For more information visit https://www.playcentre.org.nz/lea.../playcentre-education-2/

This Mother’s Day, we honour all the people who nurture, care, and walk alongside tamariki. Playcentre is a place of connection—where friendships are made, villages are built, and motherhood is embraced together. 🌸

Happy Mothers Day 💜💛
