Playcentre provides quality early childhood educational sessions for young children (birth to school age) through quality play experiences supported by a high child to adult ratio. Each Playcentre is a cooperative. Parents decide how their centre will run.

Entity Structure

Somerfield Playcentre is a volunteer co-operative managed and governed by the parents of the children who attend our centre. Every family with an enrolled child has a whanau member/parent who is a member of the committee and decisions are made via consensus. Somerfield Playcentre is a member of the New Zealand Playcentre Federation who provide support and guidance to our centre and work to ensure compliance requirements are met.
