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. For more information please click on the blue links provided
