Play and Learn are different from most ECE Services.
Play and Learn was first established in 1995 by Jan Beatson in order to provide spaces where children could have the time, space and environments to be children and to explore their local community and the wider world. We have always aimed to nurture confident, competent children, capable and open to learning in life, as well as for school. For over 28 years we have seen numerous tamariki go on to achieve outstanding results in leadership, academically and in sports. We provide very high-quality education and care (Education Review office report) through our innovative programmes in conjunction with our stable, knowledgeable, supportive, and experienced kaiako. We set high expectations and view al tamariki as competent, providing maximum opportunities to learn and develop through play.

I love that the children experience the wider community through frequent trips. The children's interests are nurtured through child initiated play and the centre is nice and small with mixed aged sessions and friendly staff.
