Pinehaven Playcentre is a deregistered Trust charity in the Education sector, based in Upper Hutt, Upper Hutt. Annual revenue: $0.1M NZD. Financial data as at August 2018.

Mission: Playcentre was instrumental in introducing the concept of education through play and through child-initiated activities to the early childhood setting in New Zealand. This philosophy has since been adopted throughout all New Zealand through the curriculum for early childhood education, Te Whāriki. The organisation believes that parents are the first and best educators of their children and children learn best when they initiate their learning through play (child-initiated play).

Each Playcentre is a cooperative. Parents decide how their centre will run and are responsible for the education of their children. Parents also make decisions giving direction to how the Playcentre Aotearoa (national body) will run
