Ngaio Playcentre | Preschool Education
About the Business
Welcome to Ngaio Playcentre, a preschool education institution located in the picturesque surroundings of Wellington, New Zealand. Situated on Silverstream Road, our establishment is not just a school, but also a point of interest and a hub of the community.
At Ngaio Playcentre, we pride ourselves on providing quality childcare in an amazing community setting. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, our center offers a supportive and fun environment for children aged 0-6. As part of Playcentre Aotearoa, we are committed to creating a child-led, play-based learning experience.
Our sessions, run by qualified and well-supported parents, follow the New Zealand National Curriculum Te Whariki. We offer sessions every morning from Monday to Friday, where children engage in age-mixed play and learning. Additionally, on Tuesdays, we host a special Reorua (bilingual) session, where whānau (family) learn and practice te reo alongside our tamariki (children).
As a licensed Early Childhood Education (ECE) institution, we prioritize providing a high-quality program for our tamariki. We encourage and support parents to participate in the free Playcentre Education program, which offers the NZ Level 4 Certificate of Early Childhood Education and Care.
Ngaio Playcentre boasts a fantastic outdoor space surrounded by native bush and birds, allowing children to explore and foster their imagination through play. Our tamariki have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a rich natural environment, enhancing their learning experiences.
We are proud to share that in our last Education Review Office (ERO) evaluation, we received a 4-year review, the highest rating possible. This recognition reflects the exceptional learning environment we provide for our tamariki. But don't just take our word for it – read all about us on our website!
If you are looking to join an amazing community that focuses on fun and learning, we invite you to get in touch with us today. At Ngaio Playcentre, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and enriching early childhood education experience for your child.

Reviews
"We love Ngaio Playcentre. Beautiful centre, lovely people, and plenty of learning. At Playcentre I've gained a much greater understanding of my daughter's play and behaviour, so I can support her as she grows. We now have our son there too, and he is loving being exposed to the Playcentre environment from an early age."
"Fantastic location and facilities. My son has so much fun on session. The parents on duty are always on hand providing exciting interesting play for the children, and supporting them in their adventures. We love being a part of Ngaio Playcentre!"
"When my older son (now 11) was 4, a woman in a shop complimented me on how positively I was directing his behaviour. I immediately felt, and wished I could show her, the invisible group of amazing women standing right behind me, all of whom I'd learnt from at Ngaio Playcentre, where my son was having so much fun in child-directed play. Older son is now doing fantastically well at school & teachers always note his enquiring mind, ability to get along with others and willingness to get involved: characteristics that got a very strong foundation at Playcentre. Now that we have a much younger son and are back there, I can also tell how much I learnt about parenting from Playcentre the first time around. If you work part time or are a full time parent, then Playcentre is unmissable."
