In the true spirit of Playcentre, a celebration is planned to bring together past and present families for an evening of fun and laughter. During the past 60 years, the centre has been housed in everything from a garage to a social hall before moving to our current location at 1 Ranui Terrace, which is where the fun begins for our current families. Life at the centre is vibrant and exciting, with children exploring different areas of play including water, woodwork, playdough, collage and much more on a daily basis. Tawa-Linden offers a variety of programmes to suit the needs of different age groups including a SPACE programme for infants; a starter group for children up to the age of two-and-a-half; mixed session for children from birth to six; and an extension session for older children (generally those aged four and above).
With a generous outdoor area including a large sandpit, climbing frames, swings, slides and a recently refurbished indoor area, Tawa-Linden Playcentre offers a great environment to foster the growth and development of young children and their families. While there is currently a waiting list, we welcome visitors to our centre, so come along to see what all the fuss is about. | | | | | | | |
