Our little explorers had fun digging deep in the sandpit for prehistoric fossils! 🦴🔍 No T-Rex was found, but with an officer on site supervising the dig, you can bet all fossil hunting rules were strictly enforced! 👮‍♂️🦕✨

The benefit of Playcentre is that tamariki of all ages play together.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing these special tuakana-teina friendships bloom. A special moment of connection between our tamariki 🥰

We couldn't do what we do without the help of our volunteers and their whanau.

Huge shoutout to Josh Glass for creating us a shiny new baby gate, helping keep our tamariki safe!

Give him a call on 027 226 4018 if you are looking for a reliable builder!

​He worked under the VERY strict supervision of his niece and nephew, who made sure every single nail was up to standard. Safe to say, it passed quality control! Thanks a million, we love it! ❤️

At Playcentre, learning isn’t just for our tamariki—it’s a journey we take right alongside them. This is the beauty of ako (learning from each other), where parents and children discover, experiment, and grow together as a whānau.

Yesterday we attended a Science play workshop and we became scientists, exploring and problem-solving to working side-by-side on new challenges, every moment is a chance for everyone to learn something new!

Playcentre offers free adult education NZQA programmes to support our parents on their journey to becoming the best kaiako they can be.

We had another fun week, thanks to Drury Playcentre and Pukekohe Playcentre for welcoming us again!

Our tamariki are enjoying different centre's but we miss our home centre and hope to be back soon!
