New Centre Fit Outs

Park Estate Kindergarten


Counties Manakau Kindergarten Association partnered with Play’n’Learn to design and deliver the refurbished interior spaces at Early Learning Counties Manukau – Park Estate, in South Auckland. In the design process, the Play’n’Learn designers were inspired by the many cultures and backgrounds that were represented amongst the tamariki and whanau at Early Learning Counties Manukau – Park Estate. We decided to combine elements of the Reggio Emilia design and documentation philosophy, with a natural colour pallet and distinct ‘Aotearoa spaces’.

The outcome is a beautiful child centric place of engaged learning for tamariki aged 0.5-5 yrs. Children are immersed in a vibrant, absorbing environment that encourages curiosity and creativity. It is a sunny and warm textural space that invites tamariki to interact with and respond to their environment.

Park Estate’s new environment fully meets their vision of providing “…a warm caring nurturing place for children, families and whānau who are encouraged to be part of and contribute to our programme.”
