Playcentre Education Learning through Play

Learning through Play (LTP) workshops are offered in three different formats:
• Face-to-face (F2F) workshops (2 hours + cleanup)
• Interactive webinars (2-2.5 hour webinars via Teams)
• Self-directed online learning (approx. 2.5 hours self-paced learning)

We recommend face-to-face LTP workshops however you can choose the format that suits you best.

Learning through Play workshops explore different curriculum and play areas in-depth. You are welcome to attend as many Learning through Play workshops as you'd like.

Face-to-face and webinar Learning through Play workshops are open to all Playcentre whānau and staff. To access a self-directed Learning through Play unit, you must be enrolled in Playcentre Education
