NZ Playcentre Federation

About NZ Playcentre Federation

The NZ Playcentre Federation is a dedicated organisation that champions the importance of play in early childhood development. Established with the vision of fostering a nurturing environment for children, the federation supports a network of playcentres across New Zealand. Our core mission is to empower parents and caregivers by providing them with the resources and training necessary to facilitate enriching play experiences for their children.

At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that play is essential for learning and growth. We advocate for child-led play, where children are encouraged to explore, create, and learn at their own pace. Our playcentres offer a unique blend of structured activities and free play, ensuring that every child’s individual needs are met.

We also focus on community engagement, bringing families together to share experiences and support one another. Through workshops, events, and collaborative projects, we aim to strengthen the bonds within our communities and promote the value of play in everyday life.

Our team comprises passionate educators and volunteers who are committed to making a difference in the lives of children and their families. We believe that by investing in early childhood education, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future.

Join us in our mission to celebrate play and its vital role in childhood development. Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive through play.
