About us

Freemans Bay Playcentre is an early childhood education option for children from birth until school age. 

Recognised and funded by the Ministry of Education, it differs from other early childhood providers as it values and affirms parents as the first and best educators of their children.

This creates the strong whanau atmosphere Playcentre is known for, allowing meaningful bonds to form between all the parent members and children, while the mixed age range allows children to learn from one another.

Playcentre follows the New Zealand early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki.

The Education Review Office visited Freemans Bay Playcentre in March 2015. They found that the centre is "very well placed" to promote positive learning outcomes for children, the highest possible rating awarded.
