What is Playcentre?
- Picton Playcentre
- Picton, Marlborough, New Zealand
- Playcentre is a unique organisation for early childhood education. There is no other place quite like it in the world. By building relationships through child-initiated play with choice, parents become the first and best educators of their children. Children gain knowledge through play, participation and positive discipline.
