Raglan Playcentre

Raglan Playcentre Kia Ora! We are the Raglan Playcentre Playgroup and we are open Wednesdays 9am - 12pm.

Playcentre is your village and believe parents are the first educators of children. We aim to foster the involvement of whānau through early childhood education. At Raglan Playcentre we focus on child-lead play and offering families the opportunity to be involved in their child's education through parent managed sessions and education programmes provided.

Reminder! We are not at the Scout Hall tomorrow, our Playcentre Whānau will be at Innes Common for Balloons over Waikato 🎈🥳

See you all next Wednesday 1st April at the Scout Hall for our final session of the term 🤗

Hey Playcentre whanau, next week March 25th we’ll be going on a trip to Hamilton to see the hot air balloons!
It’s a super early start, the event starts at 7am at Innes Common.

Once the balloons are all done we’ll meet over at the Lake Playground for a play and a snack.

Bring warm clothes and food for yourself and kids.

We are back tomorrow for our Wednesday session at the Raglan Scout Hall, 9.30-12pm to do some messy play 🎨

For children, messy play is liberating, fun and fully absorbing. Naturally curious, children show high levels of concentration and engagement as they explore with their senses, which heightens their learning experience. From a child’s perspective, messy play is magical – full of excitement and pure joy ✨💫

We’d love to see you there! 🫟

Wow! What a fun packed session we had yesterday 🤗🥳 Playdough was a big hit, Tamariki learn hand-eye coordination through manipulating the dough and exploring the different texture and shapes 🫟

Our train track set was enjoyed by our older Tamariki, this play builds their communication and social skills by working as team to create something awesome 🚂

Next week we are testing some Messy Play recipes 🎨 will you be joining us next Wednesday?

Our Story

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Raglan Playgroup

Playcentre is unlike any other early childhood education organisation. At Playcentre, both children and their parents / caregivers attend.

At Playcentre children get the opportunity to learn and explore in a fun and safe environment.

The curiosity and creativity of our tamariki is nurtured in a way that allows them to learn about themselves and their world.
