Lynfield Playcentre - Mount Roskill is listed as a community centre at 18 Griffen Park Rd in Mount Roskill, Auckland. It has a 4.5 rating on Google. The name identifies it as a Playcentre.
Playcentre is a New Zealand early childhood movement where parents and caregivers stay with their children and run the sessions together, supported by training. That makes it a community as well as an early learning service, so expect a friendly mix of play, shared morning tea and help setting up and packing away. When considering a Playcentre, visit a session, ask about session days, what is expected of parents, fees and how newcomers are supported. Regulars know that a first visit is a good way to meet other families, that children often settle more easily with a parent nearby and that parents build friendships as well as skills. Playcentres follow Te Whāriki, the national early childhood curriculum, and the 20 hours ECE scheme may apply for children aged three to five. Check which sessions are running before you visit.
For families in Mount Roskill and Lynfield, Lynfield Playcentre on Griffen Park Road is a local place to play and meet other parents.
