Tamaki Playcentres Association

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Auckland, Tamaki Playcentres Association is more than just a childcare and education institution – we are a close-knit community dedicated to nurturing the future generations of our beautiful city. Established over five decades ago, our roots run deep with a rich history of parent-led learning, fostering an environment where young minds can flourish under the watchful eyes of their families and our devoted educators. Our approach is unique – we believe in a holistic, family-centered approach to early childhood education, where children learn through play, and parents play a pivotal role in shaping their little one's journey. From the tender days of infancy to the exciting transition into kindergarten, each milestone is celebrated as part of a shared adventure between our families and staff. Our spacious, engaging facilities cater to both Big Kids Sessions and Family Sessions, offering ample opportunities for socialization, exploration, and learning. We provide a variety of play areas designed to stimulate curiosity and creativity, from sensory rooms filled with textures and sounds to open-ended play spaces that encourage imaginative play. As new parents navigating this incredible journey, our Association stands by your side, offering support and guidance every step of the way. We understand the joys, the challenges, and the questions that come with raising young children, and we strive to create a supportive, inclusive environment where all families feel valued and heard. But don't just take our word for it – come and visit us, and you'll see firsthand how Tamaki Playcentres Association is more than a childcare center; it's an extension of the whānau (family), fostering a love of learning and a sense of belonging in the heart of Auckland. Together, we nurture, grow, and shape the future – one small step, one big adventure at a time.
