Play and Learn was first established in 1995 by Jan Beatson in order to provide spaces where children could have the time, space and environments to be children and to explore their local community and the wider world. We have always aimed to nurture confident, competent children, capable and open to learning in life, as well as for school. For over 28 years we have seen numerous tamariki go on to achieve outstanding results in leadership, academically and in sports. We provide very high-quality education and care (Education Review office report) through our innovative programmes in conjunction with our stable, knowledgeable, supportive, and experienced kaiako. We set high expectations and view al tamariki as competent, providing maximum opportunities to learn and develop through play.

Our democratic programme values individual strengths and personalities, our unique community, their customs, culture and identity. Strong relationships with parents/whānau/fanau are critical for holistic development.

Quality Early Education Real world learning,

The first seven years are vital for Physical, mental and intellectual health and wellbeing. This a critical time to cultivate great potential and to develop emotional, social and cognitive development -skills that are basics of academic learning and for life.

We view tamariki as capable, Play and Learn have a background of establishing and operating successful early childhood programmes in both rural and urban areas for over 28 years. Our main point of difference from other ECE services is our ability to deliver specific “Out and About” and “Nature “programmes. Out and about programmes explore and give meaning to the local community while Nature kindergarten provides dynamic outdoor learning programmes, in empowering learning environments. Small groups of children learn through relationships, play, language, support, and experience, in the community and the outdoors, preparing for life, enquiry and the joy of learning. All cultures have fond memories of growing up in the outdoors, developing in confidence and competence, and can relate to this.
