Opoho Playcentre 28A Signal Hill Road, Opoho, Dunedin, Otago 9010

Welcome to Ōpoho Playcentre, located on Signal Hill Road in Dunedin, New Zealand. Ōpoho Playcentre is a unique institution where both children and their whānau (family) can attend together. Our playcentre provides a fun and safe environment for children to learn and explore. We believe in nurturing the curiosity and creativity of our tamariki (children) through play, allowing them to learn about themselves and the world around them.

At Ōpoho Playcentre, your child will have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities. They can explore, create, climb, read, sing, experiment, play music, dress up, have their face painted, garden, do carpentry with real tools, bake and cook, build sandcastles, swing, slide, dance, spend time in nature, and get messy if they wish. Our activities change every day, ensuring that there is always something new and exciting for your child to experience.

We highly value and affirm parents and whānau as the first and best educators of their children. Each parent brings their unique skills, interests, and cultural backgrounds, which contribute to our rich learning environment. We welcome families with children aged 0-6 years, and our mixed-age play allows children to interact and engage with peers of different ages. This promotes communication, sharing, and empathy among the children. Once children are comfortable with Ōpoho Playcentre routines, older children from 2.5 years old can be dropped off.

At Ōpoho Playcentre, parents, children, and whānau learn together, forming lifelong friendships. We invite you to join us in learning, laughing, playing, and growing. You are welcome to visit us for three free visits at any time during the year. We are open on weekdays (except Tuesdays) from 9 am to 12 pm. Our playcentre follows Ōpoho School term dates.

Conveniently located away from the road down a driveway, Ōpoho Playcentre is surrounded by native bush, providing a peaceful and natural setting for children to thrive. We would love to meet you and your family!
