Mosgiel Playcentre

Mosgiel Playcentre Mosgiel Playcentre is an amazing environment where parents and our experienced teaching team play and learn along-side our children each session.

Play Centre is different from other Early childhood environments because, alongside our amazing teachers, it is Parent led. Our parents work together with the teaching team in all aspects of running the centre including our fun, busy and amazing sessions! On each session we have parent help/s who work with the teaching team during the session and ensure the smooth running of each session. All pare

nts of children under 2 ½ stay during the session, playing along-side the children, spending quality time both with their own children but also playing and discovering with all the children. Once your child turns 2 ½ you are welcome to leave them during the session when you are not on parent help but many parents choose to stay every session even with older children. There are many opportunities to play and learn with the little ones while your older children are engaged in Big Kid Play! Most Play Centre parents describe the environment as a family – we work together with our children’s learning and playing, also running the centre and all the aspects that are involved to ensure the smooth running of the centre and so that our children have access to as many resources and experiences as possible. At Play Centre we believe that you are your child’s first teacher. In keeping with that we offer free parent education, including an NZQA recognised programme, for all parents who wish to take advantage of this. Play Centre is an amazing environment for any parent who wants to spend quality time in an early learning environment with their child but also build life-long friendships with other Play Centre families. Along with this you will be learning new skills not just around early childhood and your child but also with amazing team building activities like fundraising & family events. From an educational point Play Centre works with our parents so that our children are free to develop some of the following skills;

The ability to play, to have fun, to be engaged in the world around them and to be learners

Social skills with children and adults

Self-help skills

Group skills working with other children and adults

The ability to concentrate on something, and to be absorbed

Perseverance and problem solving skills

To explore the world around them with all the senses

The ability to express themselves creatively

That their interests are valued and encouraged through free play

Increasing independence at their own rate

To respect others and that they in turn are respected

Foundations for reading, mathematics, and physical skills through play

We warmly welcome all families to contact us or come and see us during a session to visit and discover if our Play Centre environment is for you and your family.

Have you ever wondered what Playcentre actually is? 🌿
Playcentre is an early childhood education centre where families stay and play alongside their children. We believe parents and caregivers are a child’s first and best teacher, and together we create a fun, welcoming environment for children to learn through play.

At Playcentre you’ll find:
✨ Messy play
✨ Painting and crafts
✨ Sand, water and slime play
✨ Outdoor adventures
✨ Baking and music
✨ Climbing, bikes and imaginative play
✨ Friendships for both children and adults

Playcentre has a real village feel where everyone is welcome — mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles and caregivers.
One of the best things about Playcentre is that it is fees free, making it an affordable option for families while still providing quality early childhood education and support.

More than anything, Playcentre is about connection. Children gain confidence, independence and friendships, while adults build support networks and lifelong friendships too 💛
If you’ve been thinking about visiting, come along and see what we’re all about. We’d love to welcome you into our Playcentre whānau.
