“My boys and I had a great morning at Puawaitanga o Atareta Playcentre a couple of weeks ago. Great quality facilities, a wide range of educational play resources, kind adults, peaceful atmosphere and confident, happy kids. Kids are free to explore and direct their own learning in a supportive environment. If we lived in the area we would definitely join!”
