Short notice: 404 in Wakefield. Register now online.

Linwood Playcentre is hosting 401 over 2 Sundays. There appears to be a lot of interest in 401 in CHCH, parents can now choose between this block and the Thursday evening one in Lyttleton Street Playcentre. Register now on Bookwhen in your preferred option.

Waimakariri parents: we have postponed the 401 block to get you ready for great play discussions. Our region is growing and centres desperately need this qualification. Don't wait and register now on Bookwhen.

Lyttleton Street is hosting 401 over 4 Thursday evenings. Please join them for great discussions about play and finish with a playdough play workshop. Don't miss out and register now on Bookwhen.

There are some exciting learning opportunities coming up in CHCH.

Brainwave trust events are always highly recommended. Playcentre members have access to one free ticket. For more information contact Linda W**d as per the poster.

Russley Playcentre has organised a first aid Course on Sunday 23 May. Cost is $115 per person and it runs from 8.30am to about 4-4.30pm. Contact Danica Joblin at Russley Playcentre to book your place.

Wanting to host module 401? I am looking for a host centre in CHCH who wants to have a turn. If you have 4 or 5 keen parents, contact me ([email protected]) and we can give it a whirl. I am thinking late May once the 402 block in Woolston has been completed. Most of our workshops are close to fully booked and are also social events. Meet the neighbours etc. I always receive good feedback.

Centres in other parts of our region with a surge in new parents keen to get started let me know too. Or contact your CA who are in regular contact with me re training in 'their centres'.

Enjoy the term break!
