SESSION TIMES:
Our latest ERO report describes " a culture that values, celebrates and affirms children."
Wilton Playcentre placed at the highest possible ERO rating.
ERO felt particularly confident in our "children [whom] are purposefully engaged in learning and confidently make decisions about their involvement and participation" and that "Wilton Playcentre members are a diverse group of enthusiastic parents and whanau who bring valuable skills and knowledge to their roles."
At Wilton Playcentre we are very attached to our surrounding native reserve, Otari-Wilton Bush, and ERO remarked on our "Indoor and outdoor spaces [which] encourage children to learn, investigate and develop their physical skills...[Children] are encouraged and nurtured to explore their surroundings."
We invite you to take some time out and visit us.
Our kids love their Playcentre, and we feel sure that yours will too.
