A little about us

Johnsonville Playcentre is tucked into a sunny little valley on Ironside Rd in Johnsonville, Wellington.

Johnsonville Playcentre is run by a cooperative of families who believe that we know our children best and are passionate about being involved in their learning. Our tamariki are supported to become confident, competent self-directed learners through play which is based around their interests. Our tamariki gain knowledge through play, participation and positive guidance.

We are a multi-cultural centre and have a strong focus on the values of whanaungatanga and kotahitanga.

We nurture the curiosity and creativity of our tamariki through the fun range of experiences provided … no two days at Playcentre are the same!

Our children develop nurturing and social skills which have lifelong benefits. Tamariki of all ages from birth to school age attend together, allowing older children to mentor younger children and practise empathy and caring.

Parents and other whānau share all the responsibilities of running our centre and are actively involved in providing learning programmes for our tamariki. The high adult to child ratio allows a good balance for group and individual support during each session. Our parental relationships developed through Playcentre provide support with parenting and help us develop new parenting and life skills. Parents also take part in the free Playcentre education programme, developing their parenting skills and learning about child development.

There is no other organisation for early childhood education and family development quite like it in the world. Thousands of kiwi children, and their parents too, have grown up with Playcentre … book in for your three visits today and come and join the fun.
