Pukeatua Playcentre

Pukeatua Playcentre We run a general session on Mondays and Tuesdays for children aged 0-6 years from 9.15am until 12:15pm We don't care about the mess!

Come and make new friends and meet people in your community! Playcentre is a fantastic way to get involved in your child's play. We have 16 areas of play which include, painting, carpentry, dress ups, blocks, clay, playdough, puzzles, music, dramatic play, under 2's area, library corner, the playground, Science, collage, water play, sandpit toy cars, bikes, skipping ropes, swings, hoops, plus many

more exciting things your child can play with! Its a great way for your child to get it out of their system. Just always bring a spare change of clothes and everyone helps clean up at the end! Morning tea is always organised for the adults, just bring some for your child :) We completely understand if playcentre isn't for you, but give us a try first! Everyone gets 3 free visits, before they decide if they want to enrol. Dads and grandparents are always welcome! So what are you waiting for????

We welcome new families to come play with us and meet your neighbours. 9.15-12.15 Tuesdays.

On this particular day we decided not to pull anything out of the shed for the tamariki. Instead, we left the door open and they went in and explored and decided themselves what they wanted out.
Hula hoops were the play item of choice by one child. Although she didn't use them for that purpose, but they dont need to be either 🙂
They were engaged in their play here for atleast 20minutes before moving on to the monkey bars.
Something so simple, turned into a wonderful learning opportunity. There were lots of chats about how to make it, problem solving when the hoops were too far apart,lots of counting and lots of core strength used to keep them upright.
How wonderful it is to watch a child's imagination grow from something so simple.

Tamariki love a bit of messy play! And even cooler when our smallest babes can join in too.

Messy play promotes fine motor skill development. It encourages finger dexterity, hand and shoulder strength – skills all necessary for handwriting in the future. Messy play also helps with body balance and spatial awareness, enhancing gross motor skills.

We love that here at playcentre we can get messy and learn at the same time 😃

We are open again! Woo-hoo. Come down and have a play with us 😎

✨✨✨On Friday evening we had our annual Matariki celebration.
Our evening began with stories and lots of chats about the individual stars and how they connect to the world we live in. There was also lots of waiata from our Tamariki.
We planted our new fruit tree this year which will bear fruit for many years to come for future Tamariki to enjoy here at playcentre.

After our shared Kai our Tamariki rugged up and headed outside for a game of star rock hunting by tourch light. We then toasted marshmallows and made smores by the fire side.

Our evening ended with lots of chats, story telling and cups of hot chocolate and non alcoholic mulled wine by the fire side.

Here's to the year ahead ✨✨✨

Looks about right 🤣🤣

What do you do when your too small to be at the stove top with the big kids?
Well....you wash the dishes of course 😉

Last week our Tamariki got to make vegetable soup and takakau bread to enjoy at playcentre.
They thoroughly enjoyed the process from start to finish.
