About Weymouth Playcentre

Weymouth Playcentre is a parent-led early childhood centre on Weymouth Road in Weymouth, Auckland. Parents attend alongside their children, which the centre describes as early childhood education as a shared journey. It takes children from 0 to 6, and the centre is child-led, with free play and 16 areas of play set up for different interests and ages. The programme follows Te Whāriki, the New Zealand early childhood curriculum.

Some Playcentres offer infant sessions for newborns to one-year-olds, and the centre runs a free, NZQA-approved adult education programme for enrolled whānau. Families can visit three times before enrolling. Parents who have written about the centre describe a warm welcome, children who have a good time from the first visit, and a child who began mixing with other children. The site calls Playcentre affordable, and marks 85 years of playcentres.
