Te Akau and Districts Playcentre

Nestled in the heart of Waikato, Te Akau and Districts Playcentre has been a cherished cornerstone of our community since 2013. With a deep-rooted belief in the power of early childhood education, we offer an enriching environment where every child is encouraged to learn, grow, and explore at their own pace. Our philosophy is centred around mixed-age play, which fosters a unique sense of camaraderie among our little ones. Here, children from infancy through kindergarten age collaborate, share, and learn together, creating an organic learning environment that mirrors real-world scenarios. This approach not only promotes social skills but also allows for the development of leadership qualities in our older students. At Te Akau and Districts Playcentre, we understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and needs. Our dedicated team of teachers tailors each learning experience to meet these individual requirements, ensuring every child reaches their full potential. We believe that strong relationships between our educators and the children are key to a successful educational journey, so parent/caregiver involvement is not just encouraged but actively fostered. We invite you to visit us for three free visits, where you'll witness firsthand the joyous atmosphere of our centre. Our spacious, child-friendly classrooms are brimming with engaging activities and resources designed to stimulate curiosity and foster lifelong learners. From quiet reading corners to creative art spaces and sensory play areas, each nook of our centre is thoughtfully crafted to inspire learning. At Te Akau and Districts Playcentre, we're not just a childcare facility; we're an extension of your family, committed to partnering with you on this incredible journey of parenthood and early childhood education. We warmly welcome you and your little ones to our vibrant community where learning, laughter, and friendship thrive.
