Welcome Bay Playcentre Public

🎉 Congratulations to Rebecca on achieving her Playcentre Educator Award! 🎉

This is a wonderful achievement and a reflection of the dedication and commitment she brings to our centre ✨️

One of the unique things about Playcentre is that alongside supporting children's learning through play, we also offer an amazing adult education programme that can be done at your own pace - and with no exams! 👏

Parents and caregivers gain valuable knowledge about child development, learning through play, leadership, and creating rich learning environments for tamariki 💛

Thanks so much for all your hard work Rebecca, we appreciate it so much! 🙌
