About Playcentre
Playcentres are parent-led early childhood services where families work alongside trained educators to support children’s learning through play, offering a warm, community-driven environment. These centres cater to parents who want to be actively involved in their child’s early education, enjoying a supportive, cooperative model that values whānau participation and mixed-age play.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at North Beach Playcentre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I love the outdoor area for tamariki to explore, the water river is a huge highlight. Highly recommend North Beach Playcentre, right next to the local primary c school. A beautiful centre and whānau”
“North Beach Playcentre has been such an amazing place for our whanau. My children have so much fun and have become confident, capable and ready to face challenges. I love the sense of community and having them in an Early childhood education where I am actively involved in their learning. We also love that all three of our children could play together in the same space.”
