Point Howard Playcentre & Community Emergency Hub

Welcome to Point Howard Playcentre & Community Emergency Hub, located at 1A Ngaumatau Road in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Our institution is not just a school or a point of interest, but a place where children can thrive and families can come together.

Surrounded by stunning bush landscapes, Point Howard Playcentre offers a unique environment for your tamariki (children) to explore and grow. With wide open spaces, they can run, jump, and play to their heart's content, fostering their physical development and encouraging their natural curiosity.

At Point Howard Playcentre, we understand the importance of early childhood education. Our dedicated team of teachers and caregivers are passionate about providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones. Through play-based learning, we aim to support the holistic development of each child, helping them to develop their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills.

But our institution is more than just a playcentre. We also serve as a Community Emergency Hub, meaning that in times of crisis, we are here to provide support and assistance to our community. Our trained staff and volunteers are ready to lend a helping hand and offer a safe space for those in need.
