Saint Leonards Playcentre

Welcome to Saint Leonards Playcentre, a charming establishment nestled in the heart of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. As a point of interest and a school, we take pride in offering a unique educational experience for young children in our community.

At Saint Leonards Playcentre, we believe that early childhood education is vital in shaping a child's future. Our dedicated team of experienced educators is committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Our playcentre is designed to foster holistic development, encouraging children to engage in hands-on learning experiences that promote their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Through play-based activities, children are encouraged to express their creativity, develop problem-solving skills, and build meaningful relationships with their peers.

We understand that every child is unique, and our curriculum reflects this belief. Our educators tailor learning experiences to meet each child's individual needs, interests, and abilities, ensuring that they are challenged and engaged at their own pace. We follow a child-led approach, where children are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, fostering independence and self-confidence.

At Saint Leonards Playcentre, we value the partnership between parents, whānau (extended family), and educators. We believe that collaboration and open communication are crucial in supporting a child's learning journey. We actively encourage parents and whānau to be involved in their child's education, offering opportunities for family participation and engagement.

Our playcentre boasts a range of well-equipped indoor and outdoor spaces, providing ample opportunities for exploration and discovery. From our vibrant playrooms to our nature-inspired outdoor play area, children can immerse themselves in a rich learning environment that sparks their curiosity and ignites their love for learning.

We welcome families from all backgrounds and cultures, promoting inclusivity and celebrating diversity. Our playcentre is a place where children can build friendships, develop respect for others, and embrace the multicultural fabric of our community.
