It may be possible to attend an alternative session but this is dependent upon availability and must be arranged with Programme Administrator central.programmes@playcentre.org.nz

Please note, you need to be able to attend one of the first two weeks and at least one in every four weeks after that. This is due to our requirements from the Ministry of Education.

Your baby does NOT need to be immunised to attend our Space sessions. If you would like your baby to have received their 6 week immunisations prior to starting, please ensure the Space group you are registering for starts after this. You may need to wait and join the next round of Space groups we open.
