Eden/Epsom Playcentre

My daughter attends and has grown so much in confidence, since starting her playcentre journey 9mths ago. The support of the other parents has been invaluable. The diverse and well resourced play areas cater to everyone from quite story time to fun messy play. The sky is the limit! The Centre is located in a great area, close to Mt Eden Village. Plenty of parking available.

Our family is part of the Eden Epsom Playcentre whanau at the moment, and we've been members of the wider Playcentre family for almost 10 years. Playcentre has played an important and considerable role in nurturing the formative years of both of my boys. My older son started with the SPACE programme when he was 3 months old, joined Playcentre when he was 18 months old and graduated when he was 5 before he transitioned to primary school (SPACE is an informative and supportive pre-Playcentre parenting programme which prepares inexperienced parents with useful skills to enhance the start of their parenting journey). My younger son joined Playcentre at 6 weeks old and still loves every moment there, soaking up countless rich learning experiences. He will graduate next year. I've formed lifelong friendships, given and received timely support in times of need, and have learned valuable skills that I believe have enhanced my parenting techniques beyond measure. Sharing this joyful and sometimes challenging parenting journey with like-minded peers has been a privilege. It's hard to quantify the value of this special organisation. I'm so happy to have been a part of it for this chapter of my life.
