The Wellington Playcentre Association has 21 member Playcentres stretching from Miramar in Wellington City's southern suburbs to Otaki on the Kapiti Coast. We are proud of our heritage as the home of the Playcentre movement, and we are committed to continue to provide a high standard of educational and play experiences for children and quality adult education opportunities for parents.

Playcentre is based on a philosophy of child-initiated play and the importance of parents as educators of their own children. Playcentre is a licenced Early Childhood organisation that is unique to New Zealand.
