North Shore Playcentres Association

Nestled in the heart of Auckland's vibrant region, North Shore Playcentres Association has been a cherished cornerstone of early childhood education for decades. Our story began with a simple yet profound belief that every child deserves a nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow at their own pace. Welcome to our playcentres, a magical world designed specifically for the joyous exploration and learning journey of your little ones. Here, we blend structured Kindergarten programs with the freedom of play-based learning, ensuring each child's unique potential is fostered in an atmosphere of warmth, love, and understanding. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday find our playcentres buzzing with activity as children engage in a myriad of educational activities tailored to their age and developmental stage. On Thursdays, the SPACE for Babies program offers a gentle introduction to socializing and learning for our youngest members. As the week draws to a close, Fridays become an exciting canvas for messy play, igniting young imaginations and fostering curiosity through hands-on experiences. But our commitment to enriching your child's formative years extends far beyond the classroom. We believe in the power of nature to inspire and educate, and so we frequently embark on nature walks where children can explore and learn about the wonders of the outdoors. And who could forget the magical visits from our four-legged friends—the ponies that bring a sparkle to every child's eye? At North Shore Playcentres Association, we understand that every child is unique, and so we strive to create an inclusive environment where each child feels seen, heard, and valued. Our dedicated team of educators works tirelessly to ensure that every day at our playcentres is filled with laughter, learning, and a deep sense of belonging. Join us on this incredible journey as we watch your child grow, learn, and flourish in a place where they are free to be themselves—a place where learning is a joyous adventure, and friendships are forged to last a lifetime. Welcome to North Shore Playcentres Association—where every day is a new opportunity to explore, discover, and grow.
