Auckland Playcentres Association

Welcome to Auckland Playcentres Association, a vibrant and nurturing haven for children in the heart of Auckland. Established decades ago, our association has been dedicated to fostering the holistic development of young minds, providing an exceptional environment where children can learn, grow, and play. At the core of our approach lies Parent-Led Learning, a philosophy that empowers parents to take an active role in their child's education. Here, we believe in the unique potential within every child and the crucial role parents play in unlocking it. Our mixed-age group setting encourages collaboration, understanding, and empathy among the little ones, mirroring real-world dynamics and preparing them for future social interactions. Our Kindergarten programs employ Play-Based Learning, a method that allows children to learn through exploration and discovery. By immersing themselves in engaging activities, they develop not only their cognitive skills but also their social and emotional intelligence. We create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are embraced as learning opportunities, and imagination soars free. Beyond academics, we are committed to supporting and educating parents. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that strong parental involvement enhances a child's development. Through workshops, seminars, and open dialogue, we strive to equip parents with the tools they need to nurture their children effectively. In our community, every voice matters. We are more than just a childcare facility; we are a family, united by a shared vision of fostering a love for learning in the youngest generation. By choosing Auckland Playcentres Association, you become part of this extended family, joining hands with us to nurture the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. So, welcome! We can't wait to embark on this journey of growth and discovery with you and your child.
