Tomarata Playcentre

Tomarata Playcentre Tomarata Playcentre is a parent led early childhood centre from birth to 6 years. We look forward to meeting you.

At Tomarata Playcentre we provide a positive early childhood education experience where children are encouraged to learn through play. A wide range of activities are available to engage our tamariki in our well resourced purpose built centre with an extensive outdoor area including a large covered sandpit to allow for all weather play. The centre is run as a cooperative where families are actively involved in the learning experiences of our children. We foster a great sense of community and have close links with neighbouring Tomarata School. We always welcome new members so if you have a young family please feel free to visit us for 3 free visits to check us out.

🌟 Join us tomorrow for Term 4!

🌱 We are a parent-led early childhood education service for tamariki from birth to 6 years old. Parents plan activities and play experiences around the interests of tamariki while getting to know each other in a supportive environment. You will have seen in previous posts this year, our current group of tamariki love to be outdoors gardening, in the sandpit or getting messy.

💜 Come along for a cuppa and to see what Tomarata Playcentre is all about.

⏰ We are open 9:30am - 1pm Tuesday’s and Thursday’s.

Today the tamariki worked alongside each other to make some delicious banana chocolate chip muffins (they were a real hit!). They practiced taking turns, measuring ingredients and patience as the muffin baked and cooled down to finally eat.

It was a warm sunny day and outside the tamariki made oobleck, rode bikes and dug in the sandpit.

Join us on Thursday for more Open Week fun! We will be having a shared kai to farewell our lovely centre advisor, setting up an obstacle course and getting into more messy play.
