North Shore Playcentres Association

Nestled in the heart of Auckland's vibrant landscape, North Shore Playcentres Association has been a cherished beacon of childcare and education for families since its inception. Our mission is rooted in providing a nurturing environment that fosters the natural curiosity and creativity of children between the ages of 0 to 6 years old. Each day, our centres buzz with the joyful sounds of little feet, laughter, and the magical symphony of young minds at play. Here, children explore, create, and learn in a setting that encourages their physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. Our mixed-age environment allows for a unique blend of wisdom sharing and peer learning, creating a dynamic tapestry of experiences for every child. At North Shore Playcentres Association, we believe in the power of play as a fundamental tool for learning. Our dedicated educators facilitate a wide range of activities tailored to our children's interests and abilities. From singing and dancing to gardening and carpentry, there is no shortage of opportunities for children to express themselves and discover their passions. But we don't stop at play; we also encourage learning through reading, music, experimentation, and more. Our facilities are designed to inspire exploration, with spaces specially curated for sandcastle-building, sliding, swinging, and getting messy - because some of life's greatest lessons come from a little bit of dirt on the hands. Moreover, we value the role of parents and caregivers as active partners in their children's education. Our doors are always open for parental involvement, creating a sense of community that extends beyond our centre walls. We understand that every child is unique, and by working closely with families, we can create a tailored learning journey for each child. North Shore Playcentres Association is more than just a childcare centre; it's a place where children laugh, learn, and grow. It's where friendships are forged, imaginations take flight, and milestones are celebrated. Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to enrich the lives of Auckland's youngest citizens.
