North New Brighton Playcentre

Welcome to North New Brighton Playcentre, located in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we offer a unique early childhood education experience for children and their families.

At North New Brighton Playcentre, parents and whānau (extended family) are the primary caregivers. Together, we create a village where your entire family can connect and thrive. We believe that Playcentre is a world leader in providing the perfect environment for growing young minds.
