Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

Playcentre philosophy and practice are based on "Whanau Tupu Ngatahi - Families Growing Together". Playcentre recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their children and supports them to educate their children. Playcentre provides quality early childhood educational sessions for young children (birth to school age) through quality play experiences and supported by a high child to adult ratio. Adults participate in the Playcentre Education Programme which supports children's learning & growth through their Playcentre journey & beyond. Playcentre is a family organisation where we empower adults and children to play, work, learn & grow together. Each Playcentre is a cooperative. Parents decide how their centre will run and are responsible for the education of their children. Parents also make decisions giving direction to how PCA (national body) will run.
