General Sessions for children birth through to school age (0-6)

Playcentre has been a part of our community in Te Kauwhata for over 50 years. About 20 families currently attend and support Playcentre in Te Kauwhata with children aged from a few weeks to 4 years old. Learning is encouraged and extended through play experiences in areas of play which include sand play, water play, play dough, collage, carpentry, manipulative play, music, exploratory play and many more. Parents are the educators and are encouraged to participate in the education program (NZQA). Our sessions run Monday to Thursday from 9.15am to 11.45am in line with the school term. We are closed during school, public and Christmas Holidays.
This term the children have enjoyed lots of outdoor play, in the water and sand, as well as collage and painting. It is great to see the children comfortable in their ‘home away from home’ often returning to their favourite toys, activities and dress ups each session!!

So if you are new to the community, if you have young children, if you want to meet new people, if you want to be a part of an exciting and sometimes crazy group of people, if you want to do more for your community, then perhaps Playcentre is what you are looking for. Playcentre is not for the fainthearted though....It takes a lot of work by everyone to create a great environment!!......So come for a nosey.....we’d love to meet you!!
