Help us cross the finish line!
Weโre on the move and we need your help to raise more funds!
For nearly 50 years, Mount Maunganui Playcentre has played a vital role in local familiesโ lives, delivering free play-based, child-led learning with parents at the heart of their childโs development. We strongly believe in the Playcentre kaupapa โWhฤnau tupu ngฤtahi - families growing togetherโ and have supported thousands of local children from diverse backgrounds to learn through play since our centre opened in 1974.
Our relocation is key to continuing our strong family centred legacy. Want to learn more about our relocation project?
