Yesterday was a big day in the Taranaki Playcentre world. After 40 incredible years, our C.A Anne Fenton, is leaving us, she’s spreading her wings and moving across the ditch to be with her grandies. I personally want to thank Anne for all the help and support you’ve given me, all the late night phone calls and texts 😂 the push to finish my studies with Playcentre. You have been a massive part of my personal journey and you will be very missed. All the best for your future endeavors Anne 💕 on a side note, Chloe enjoyed playing at a different centre, exploring and trying new things. The car was a massive hit! Do we have any one that would be able to make one for rahotu Playcentre? I hope everyone enjoys the holidays, we will see you again on the 22 July! 8.45-12.30. Come along for a play 🙂🙂

Last week we did lots of creating on session. We had paints, glue, crafts, sticky tape, if we could stick it to something, we were giving it a go! Chloe and Lucy put in a show for us too before we went inside with some funny faces and a story to go with our Kai. Our kaiako Lisa also painted the alphabet snack again! I wonder if after all the rain it will still be there? Come on down on Wednesdays and see if it’s still there! We’re open 8.45-12.30 🫶🏻

What can we do next Wednesday? Come and joins us, 8.45 till 12.30. Located right next to rahotu school 😊
