An early learning centre on Queen Street in Pukekohe East, caring for children from birth through to school age.
About
PlayPods Childcare Pukekohe is a privately run early learning centre offering care and education for tamariki from 0 months to six years. The centre is split into two pods: Anuhe Pod for infants and toddlers aged 0-2, and Pūrerehua Pod for children aged 2-6 preparing for school. Centre Director Rukshat Singh brings more than 30 years in teaching, including over 15 years in early childhood education management. The team works in small, close-knit groups so kaiako can respond to each child individually, and places a strong emphasis on whānau connections. A sister centre operates in Waiuku.
