Auckland Playcentres Association

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, the Auckland Playcentres Association has been a cherished beacon of early childhood education for decades, cultivating a rich tapestry of learning experiences for countless generations of little minds. Founded on the belief that every child is unique and capable, our association embraces the philosophy of 'learning through play' – a holistic approach that allows each child to discover their own strengths and passions at their own pace. We are more than just child care centres; we are a vibrant community of educators, parents, and families, committed to fostering an environment where young minds can thrive. Our Kindergartens offer engaging, age-appropriate programs that nurture the intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development of every child, ensuring they are well-prepared for their journey into primary school and beyond. Our early childhood educators are not just teachers; they are mentors, advocates, and partners in your child's learning journey. With a passion for education and a deep understanding of the unique needs of each child, our educators create personalised learning plans that spark curiosity, foster resilience, and instill a lifelong love of learning. In addition to our Kindergarten programs, we pride ourselves on offering a range of parent education resources and family support services. From workshops on positive parenting strategies to seminars on child development milestones, we are dedicated to empowering parents with the knowledge and tools they need to nurture their children's growth at home. At Auckland Playcentres Association, we believe that education is a collaborative effort – one that extends beyond our classroom walls. That's why we actively seek opportunities for community involvement, partnering with local organisations and initiatives to create a brighter future for all of Auckland's children. As the years have passed and the children who once played in our centres have grown, so too has our association evolved. Yet, one thing remains constant – our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality child care and education services that nurture the potential within every child, equipping them with the skills they need to conquer the world with confidence, compassion, and curiosity. Welcome to the Auckland Playcentres Association family – a community where every child matters and every voice is heard.
