🎉 We have a new name! 🎉

Picton Playcentre is now proudly Waitohi Picton Playcentre 💜
Our new name reflects the rich history of this place and strengthens our connection to the Waitohi community, while staying true to the Playcentre values we love. We also want to acknowledge and honour the Picton Playcentre community — past and present — and all the dedication, care, and hard work that has gone into building such a special place over the years.

Same wonderful whānau, same supportive learning environment — just a name that better represents who we are. 🌿✨

Huge thanks to Rātā Foundation and Build Picton for the funding and installation of our new signs 💛
