Newtown Playcentre | Preschool Education

Welcome to Newtown Playcentre, a small and friendly center located in the heart of Wellington. We are dedicated to providing unique and high-quality learning experiences for young children and their families. Our sessions are open to children aged 0-6 years old and are focused on child-initiated play.

At Newtown Playcentre, we offer excellent facilities, including a beautiful garden and outdoor play area. Our center is a safe and supportive learning environment for both children and adults, making it the perfect place for parents and whanau who want to be actively involved in their child's early education.

Through play-based learning, our children become confident and self-directed learners. They gain knowledge through active participation and positive guidance, allowing them to explore their interests and curiosity. Each day at Playcentre is filled with fun and exciting experiences, ensuring that no two days are the same.

In addition to academic development, our center also focuses on nurturing social and caring skills in children. Siblings attend together, providing opportunities for older children to mentor younger ones and practice empathy and compassion.

One of the unique aspects of Newtown Playcentre is the strong parental relationships that are developed. Parents actively contribute to our children's learning programs, and the high adult-to-child ratio ensures a balance between group and individual support during each session. Being part of Playcentre not only provides support and friendship but also normalizes developmental stages in children and parenting, helping to reduce stress and build a toolbox of skills.

Newtown Playcentre is truly one of a kind. There is no other organization that combines early childhood education and family development quite like us. Thousands of Kiwi children, and their parents too, have grown up with Playcentre. We invite you to book in for three visits and come join the fun!
