ABOUT PLAYWAY

Playway early learning center offers quality childcare and education in Papatoetoe. Our centre is located on Gray Avenue and is within minutes of Middlemore and the train station.

Our facility is designed to extend and enhance your child’s learning and development throughout their infancy, toddler and pre-school years. We value children’s curiosity and provide an environment for children to be creative and active learners, an environment where every child is given acceptance, nurturing and respect in order to reach their full potential. This will empower them to become liberal members of our society.

We celebrate and support the diversity of our tamariki and whanau – valuing and respecting everyone regardless of their ethnicity or cultural background. We hope to support parents and the community by building positive relationships and having open communication.

Teachers plan some activities and experiences to support children to learn and develop new skills, as well as practicing their existing skills.
Children are supported in their risk taking, challenging and problem-solving experiences to develop awareness that taking risks and making mistakes are critical aspects of being effective learners.

OUR CHILDREN - TAMARIKI

Our Infants and toddlers  are cared for in a separate intimate and cosy indoor space with a  massive natural outdoor space. Our Infants and toddlers  receive primary caregiving  by highly experienced teachers who take delight in the joys of caring for our littlest members.

Preschoolers  are free to explore and experiment within a richly resourced environment and through carefully planned, open ended learning experiences. This combination allows every individual to feel nurtured and supported in a learning journey that is unique to them.

OUR VALUES

At Playway early learning center, we are also proud of our natural outdoor and ever evolving herb and vegetable garden. Here, children have the opportunity to care for plants, worms and other natural delights. Our teaching team feel fortunate that they are able to provide access to the wonders of the natural world everyday.

We’re committed to creating a magical childhood for your child, based on respectful relationships and a powerful image of the child. The concept of self- discipline is introduced, and children are encouraged to respect each other and the centres property. Our teaching environments are designed to nurture and support the curious minds of young children.

PRE-SCHOOL

Playway have provided my children with a home away from home, a place where they feel a sense of security, trust, and respect. Seeing my children happy and safe while playing, learning, and exploring in an environment which support their individuality makes me as a mother feel at ease when I leave them in the case of the wonderful teachers at Playway.
