Hi there
Does anyone know of any playcentres that are run on Saturday's? I wish circumstances were different, but I work during the week and have found that most of the playcentres are run when I'm at work. Does anyone know of any in the Auckland area that run sessions on the weekend? Thanks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I haven't heard of any playcentres opening on sat, but maybe a playgroup near you does? Or a coffee group?
Playcentre is an ECE so basically an alternative to daycare or kindy, and as it is run by parents you have alot of involvement / extra after hours stuff to do (meetings / courses / clean ups / fundraising). I work 3 days and find it almost too much, so I don't think I could work full time and do it! and most centres (not mine) will require you to attend more than one session also. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I think some of the libraries run Saturday Music and Rhyme sessions - not quite playgroup but another idea if you're looking for something social to do with bubs... ------------- Two little girls under 2!

| As above I don't think playcentres run on Saturdays. For one thing becuase parents have to be there, you'd struggle to keep school age kids out of it, which in an ECE centre isn't really desirable. |
