Avonhead Playcentre

Welcome to Avonhead Playcentre, a thriving Early Childhood Centre located in the bustling University area of Christchurch, New Zealand. Situated at 166 Waimairi Road, our institution is a point of interest for families seeking a fun and positive place for their children to learn and grow.

At Avonhead Playcentre, we believe in the importance of parental involvement. As a cooperative, all parents actively participate in the running of the centre, contributing to the vibrant and engaging environment we provide. Whether it's taking on big or small tasks, every parent plays a crucial role in ensuring our centre continues to be a nurturing and enjoyable space for all.

Our sessions are open to children from birth until school age, offering a range of activities and learning opportunities suitable for different developmental stages. We understand that transitioning into an early childhood centre can be a significant step for both children and parents. Therefore, we encourage parents to stay with their child during their initial stages at Avonhead Playcentre. Once children reach 2 1/2 years old and gain confidence, parents are welcome to leave their child for some or all of the session, knowing they are in a safe and supportive environment.

Avonhead Playcentre operates general sessions on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, ensuring flexibility for families with varying schedules. These sessions are designed to foster social interaction, creative play, and educational experiences. Our dedicated team of educators and parents work together to create a stimulating curriculum that promotes holistic development and prepares children for their future educational journey.
