Auckland Playcentres Association

Welcome to Auckland Playcentres Association, a vibrant heart within the city of Auckland that has been nurturing young minds for generations. Established in the spirit of collaboration and community, we are more than just a childcare and education facility; we are an extension of family, a canvas for curiosity, and a sanctuary for learning. Nestled within our playcentres, you'll find a harmonious blend of kindergarten, early childhood education, and parent education programs, designed to foster growth not just for the little ones, but for their caregivers too. Our mixed-age sessions, ranging from tender 0s to lively 6-year-olds, create an environment where learning transcends age barriers, promoting unity and understanding among our young charges. At Auckland Playcentres Association, we believe that every child is unique, with their own special talents and curiosities waiting to unfold. Guided by our dedicated team of educators who hold NZQA Level 4 Certificates in Early Childhood Education and Care, we provide a nurturing environment where each child can explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. But we're not just about the children - we're also committed to supporting families. We understand that raising young ones is a journey filled with questions, challenges, and triumphs. That's why we offer adult education programs designed to empower parents, providing them with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate this incredible journey with confidence. Stepping into one of our playcentres, you'll find laughter filling the air, the sound of little feet pattering on wooden floors, and the sweet aroma of fresh paint mingling with the scent of coffee from our community kitchen. It's a place where the magic of childhood is celebrated, and the foundations for lifelong learning are laid. Join us at Auckland Playcentres Association, where every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. Together, we create a brighter future for our children, one playgroup session, one adult education programme, one smile at a time. Welcome to your family's new home away from home.
