a safe sensory space

A calm, caring space for tamariki and their whanau. Where sensory needs are met, play is purposeful, and kids can just be themselves.

A space that gets it

The Place is a low-sensory environment created for kids who thrive with a little more understanding. We support tamariki and their carers with calm, connection, and scaffolded social development, helping children make sense of their wiring and build confidence in their own time.

The Place

The Place is a safe sensory space for children, their whanau & carers. Open to all tamariki that may need lower ratios & understanding when dysregulated. We scaffold kids learning to teach them how to maximise their brain wiring and assist in building their social skills.
