Wilton Playcentre | Early Childhood Education 3A Gloucester Street, Wilton, Wellington 6012

Welcome to Wilton Playcentre, a unique early childhood education institution located at 3A Gloucester Street in Wellington, New Zealand. At our Playcentre, we offer a different approach to early childhood education, where children and their families come together to play and grow.

At Wilton Playcentre, parents and whānau (extended family) are the primary caregivers. Together, we build a village where your entire family can connect and thrive. We believe that Playcentre is a world leader in providing the perfect environment for growing young minds.

One of the key advantages of attending Playcentre is the high adult to child ratio. With parents, whānau, and caregivers actively participating, we can offer a child-initiated program that is tailored to each individual child's strengths and interests.

Whether you have a new baby or are new to the community, Wilton Playcentre provides a welcoming space for babies, young children, and parents to come together. Our members enjoy a strong sense of belonging, and friendships flourish in our supportive and friendly environment.

As a nationwide charity with over 400 centres across the country, Playcentre offers a fun and vibrant community for you and your child. You don't just watch your child grow, you grow with them. Witness your child's confidence soar as they explore and foster their imagination through play and interaction with other children aged 0-6.

From building sandcastles to baking biscuits, painting to singing, working with wood to cutting shapes in playdough, every session at Wilton Playcentre will captivate your child and ignite their excitement for learning. By actively participating in your child's learning journey, you can also meet other parents and educators while becoming part of a fun and vibrant community.

But it's not just about the children. Playcentre offers a unique opportunity for parents to form lasting friendships and learn alongside their children. The connections made at Playcentre are priceless, and the sense of community and belonging is at the heart of everything we do.

Say yes to mess! At Wilton Playcentre, we encourage messy play activities that spark creativity and unlock learning. Come and explore a variety of messy play offerings, from paint and playdough to sand and clay, to slime and gloop. Join us for this free event designed for families with children aged 0-6 years.

Infants are welcome to attend most Playcentre sessions and participate in regular activities. We also offer specialized sessions focused on the needs of newborns to 1-year-olds, providing support and friendship for new parents.

At Wilton Playcentre, every member contributes to the Playcentre story, and we would love for you to join us. Our village becomes your village, offering endless experiences of fun and friendship for you and your children that will last a lifetime.
