Houghton Valley Playcentre

Welcome to Houghton Valley Playcentre, nestled in the heart of Wellington's vibrant and family-friendly community. Established with a vision to nurture young minds, our child care and education centre has been a cherished part of this wonderful city for many years. At Houghton Valley Playcentre, we believe that every child is unique, and so is their learning journey. We offer sessional education and care for children aged between 0 to 6 years, providing them with play-based sessions tailored to their individual needs. Our approach combines early childhood education principles with the magic of play, ensuring a stimulating and enjoyable environment for every child. We are more than just a childcare centre; we are a community of families, bound together by shared values, interests, and most importantly, a commitment to our children's well-being and growth. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about creating an atmosphere that encourages curiosity, fosters creativity, and promotes emotional, social, and cognitive development in every child. We are proud to offer a special Te Reo Māori session on Thursday mornings, providing children with the opportunity to learn and appreciate our rich Māori culture and language. This initiative is not just about language acquisition; it's about instilling an appreciation for New Zealand's unique cultural heritage in our young generation. We understand that every family has different needs, and we strive to provide flexibility through our services. For eligible children over the age of three, we offer 20 hours free education per week, making quality early childhood education accessible to more families. At Houghton Valley Playcentre, we believe in creating a home away from home for your child. We invite you to visit us and witness firsthand the love, care, and dedication that goes into every moment at our centre. Join us on this incredible journey of learning, growth, and community building, where every day is filled with laughter, discovery, and new friendships waiting to be made. Welcome to Houghton Valley Playcentre - Where dreams take flight and friendships bloom!
