NZSL Week is almost here! We’re so excited to share our brand new video: Learn the ABCs in NZSL!

Join me and my amazing costar Erica as we sing, sign, and learn the alphabet together.

A big shoutout to Deaf Aotearoa for all the incredible work they do supporting NZSL and the Deaf community!
Let’s celebrate NZSL and help kids everywhere learn through music.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning" — Fred Rogers.

"What's your favourite Mum? A fairy or a beach?" ... important decisions to be made on a Playcentre morning 🧚‍♀️ ⛱️

Come along to Playcentre next week to see some messy play in action!

We had a great morning joining with the Somerset Bears picnic in the park! Can anyone spot our picnic pal?!

A week behind in posting this but still! We are loving being back after the summer holidays, hopefully still lots of sunshine left to get out and explore. Please pop along for a visit if you're looking for something new to do with your tamariki this year. Mon - Thurs, 9-12pm :)

We've had an amazing year watching our tamariki learn, play, grow. We've said Happy School Days to some old friends and welcomed many new friends into our Playcentre village. Wishing everyone a very Meri Kirihimete & Happy New Year. We will see you in 2025, first session Monday 27th Jan! :)

He toa taumata rau - bravery has many resting places. How inspiring to see our tamariki persevering & overcoming their fears. Miss 4 has been working up the courage to go down the pole on her own for many weeks and today was the day! Ka rawe!!
