North Shore Playcentres Association

Nestled in the heart of Auckland's beautiful North Shore, the North Shore Playcentres Association is more than just a childcare and education center; it's a vibrant community dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning from an early age. Established with a vision to provide a warm, welcoming environment where children can grow, explore, and discover, our association has been a cherished part of the region for years. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in play-based learning, believing that through play, children learn best. Each day, our passionate educators create engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, all while promoting social and emotional development. Our mixed-age group sessions allow for organic learning opportunities, where older siblings can share their knowledge with younger ones, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy. We understand that every child is unique, and so are their needs and growth patterns. That's why we offer dedicated baby sessions designed to cater specifically to the needs of our tiniest learners, providing a nurturing environment for them to grow at their own pace. Our commitment extends beyond the classroom, with parents actively involved in their child's learning journey, fostering a strong partnership between home and school. At North Shore Playcentres Association, we believe that childhood is a precious time, filled with wonder and discovery. We strive to create an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and loved, where they can explore their interests, develop lifelong friendships, and grow into confident, capable individuals. So whether you're looking for a kindergarten or early childhood education, we invite you to join our North Shore family. Together, we'll create magical memories and lay the foundation for a future filled with possibilities.
