North Shore Playcentres Association

Nestled within the heart of Auckland's enchanting landscape, North Shore Playcentres Association stands as a beacon of nurturing care and education for young minds. Established in the spirit of fostering a love for learning and community engagement, we have been providing an unparalleled early childhood experience since our inception. Our story is not just about childcare; it's about cultivating curiosity, fostering friendships, and creating memories that last a lifetime. We are dedicated to kindergarten education that goes beyond the confines of textbooks, embracing play-based learning as a cornerstone of our approach. This means your child isn't just learning numbers and letters but discovering the world around them through play. At North Shore Playcentres Association, we believe in the magic of mixed-age play. By bringing together children of different ages, we create an environment where learning is organic and diverse, as older children share their skills with their younger peers, and vice versa. This not only enriches everyone's experience but also promotes respect, understanding, and empathy—skills that are essential in the ever-evolving world we live in. But we don't stop at just education. We encourage active parental involvement, recognizing the crucial role you play in your child's development. Through regular communication, workshops, and events, we aim to create a partnership between home and our center that supports your child holistically. Beyond academics, we are deeply rooted in our community, fostering connections that extend beyond our center's walls. We believe that a strong community nurtures strong individuals, and through various activities, events, and collaborations, we strive to create lasting bonds between our families and the wider Auckland Region. Step into North Shore Playcentres Association, and you'll find not just a childcare center, but a vibrant, engaging community where every child is cherished and nurtured, every voice is heard, and every day is an adventure in learning and discovery. Join us on this incredible journey as we empower the future leaders of tomorrow, one smile, one friendship, and one discovery at a time.
