Established over four decades ago, our family-oriented centre has been dedicated to providing a nurturing environment that fosters learning, creativity, and social development for children aged from infancy through kindergarten. At Edgecumbe Playcentre, we believe that every child is unique, with their own set of talents and interests. Our mixed-age sessions encourage siblings and peers to learn together, promoting camaraderie and respect among the young ones. We place equal emphasis on both structured activities and self-directed play, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience that caters to each child's learning style. Our parent-led approach empowers our families to take an active role in their child's education. By working closely with teachers, parents can contribute their valuable insights and experiences, creating a dynamic learning environment that is both supportive and stimulating for the children. We believe that by involving parents in the educational process, we strengthen the bond between home and school, fostering a consistent learning experience for your child. Nestled on lush grounds, our centre boasts a variety of age-appropriate play areas, designed to encourage exploration and curiosity. From our infant programs, where babies learn through sensory play and interaction with their caregivers, to our kindergarten classes that focus on preparing children for school readiness – every aspect of our centre is carefully designed to support the unique needs of your child. Come join us at Edgecumbe Playcentre, where we foster a love for learning in an environment that feels like home. Here, your child will make lifelong friendships, develop essential skills, and embark on a journey of self-discovery – all while being cherished and nurtured by our dedicated team.
