Auckland Playcentres Association

Welcome to Auckland Playcentres Association, where the magic of childhood meets the foundation of a bright future. Nestled in the vibrant city of Auckland, we've been a cherished part of our community for decades, providing exceptional child care and education services that nurture young minds and hearts since our humble beginning. Our story begins with the belief that every child is unique, capable, and eager to explore the world around them. Guided by this conviction, we offer a warm, inviting environment where children can play, learn, and grow at their own pace. Our programs are rooted in play-based learning, an approach that fosters creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking, preparing our little ones for kindergarten and beyond. Each day at Auckland Playcentres Association is filled with a rich tapestry of varied activities designed to stimulate young minds and bodies. From the rhythmic beats of music classes to the brush strokes of arts and crafts sessions, from the laughter-filled games in our spacious indoor play areas to the joyous outdoor play in our green, leafy gardens - every moment is a chance for children to learn, grow, and have fun. But we're not just about activities; we're about holistic child development. Our parent-led programs ensure that each child receives individualized care and attention, helping them develop emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. We believe in the power of collaboration between parents and educators, working hand in hand to shape the future of our children. In addition to our regular programs, we also embark on exciting excursions that broaden horizons and enrich learning experiences. From visits to local museums to trips to nearby parks, these outings provide valuable opportunities for children to engage with the world beyond their playcentre. At Auckland Playcentres Association, we're more than just a child care and education provider; we're a home away from home, a place where friendships are forged, memories are made, and foundations are laid for a lifelong love of learning. So come, join us in our journey of discovery, growth, and fun, as we help shape the leaders of tomorrow, today.
