Playcentre Association - Hutt

Welcome to Playcentre Association - Hutt, located at Lower Hutt, Trafalgar Street, 101. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we offer early childhood education with a difference. At Playcentre, we believe in creating a nurturing environment where children and their families can play and grow together.

What sets Playcentre apart is that parents and whānau (extended family) are the primary caregivers. Together, we build a village where your whole family is connected and thrives. With a high adult to child ratio, we are able to offer a child-initiated program that is tailored to each individual child's strengths and interests.

Whether you are a new parent or new to the community, Playcentre provides a place for babies, young children, and parents to come together. Our members enjoy a strong sense of belonging, and friendships flourish within our supportive, fun, and friendly environment.

As a nationwide charity with over 400 centres located throughout the country, Playcentre offers a unique opportunity for you and your child to grow together. Watch your child's confidence soar as they explore and foster their imagination through play and interaction with other children aged 0-6.

From building sandcastles to baking biscuits, painting to singing, working with wood to cutting shapes in playdough, every session at Playcentre will captivate your child and excite them. And the best part is, you get to be involved in your child's learning by playing with them and alongside them.

At Playcentre, we encourage children to interact with others while you meet other parents and educators. By becoming part of our fun and vibrant community, you will experience a sense of belonging that is at the heart of everything we do.

Don't be afraid of the mess! At Playcentre, we embrace messy play activities that spark creativity and unlock learning. Join us for our free Messy Play Week event, where families with children aged 0-6 can explore a variety of messy play offerings, from paint and playdough to sand and slime.

We welcome children from age 0-6, and infants are welcome to attend most Playcentre sessions and participate in the regular activities. We also offer specialized sessions for newborns to 1-year-olds, providing support and friendship for new parents.

At Playcentre, our members create the story, and we would love for you to join us. Our village becomes your village, offering endless experiences of fun and friendship for you and your children that will last a lifetime.

Come and be a part of the Playcentre Association - Hutt. Experience early childhood education like never before and watch your child and yourself grow together.
