Tamaki Playcentres Association

Nestled in the heart of vibrant Auckland, Tamaki Playcentres Association has been a cherished beacon of early childhood education since its humble beginnings. Over the decades, we've grown to become an integral part of our community, providing a nurturing environment for countless little minds and hearts. At Tamaki Playcentres Association, we believe that every child is unique, and we strive to foster their innate curiosity and creativity through play-based learning experiences. Our Kindergarten sessions are designed to be a joyous journey of discovery, where children can explore, create, and learn at their own pace, guided by our dedicated educators. We understand that every family is unique too, which is why we offer Family Sessions where parents and caregivers actively participate in their child's learning process. These sessions foster a sense of community, encouraging parents to learn alongside their children while developing skills for effective parenting. As our children grow, so does our commitment to their holistic development. Our Big Kids Sessions cater to the evolving needs of school-aged children, providing a safe and stimulating environment for their growth. We continue to focus on education, instilling values of respect, empathy, and responsibility in each child, preparing them for the challenges of the future. Beyond academic excellence, we prioritize the development of life skills through our Parent Education program. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is crucial to a child's overall wellbeing, and our workshops provide parents with the tools they need to support their children's learning journey at home. At Tamaki Playcentres Association, we're more than just a childcare center—we're a community of learners, a family of educators, and advocates for every child's right to quality early childhood education. So whether you're a new parent seeking the best for your little one or an educator looking to make a difference, join us at Tamaki Playcentres Association, where we grow together with love, laughter, and learning.
