About Tina Fortune

I am very passionate about Playcentre and the supporting environment it offers families for learning and growing together.  I view this opportunity as a way to protect and nuture the Playcentre  philosophy. 

My son is 9 years old and daughter 4.  Our family have been actively participating at the Blenheim Playcentre for 8 years.   I vividly remember my first visit to Playcentre with my son, a nervous mum  entering into an unknown environment.  I stepped through the door to a welcoming, vibrant hub of activity that enveloped us both and fostered our family through 8 years of learning and growing together.  Our years at Playcentre are treasured.
