About Ako Playrooms

Educationally designed play spaces make the perfect playrooms!

Our "Learning through Play" Approach

Imagine your child entering a world where their every curiosity is met with endless possibilities, independence is fostered and their learning is integrated through their play. This is the power of a well-designed playroom, as it provides a space for children to explore, experiment and interact with their environment, leading their own learning, through their play.


We use these Categories of Play to help organise toys, play spaces and equipment to ensure a well balanced playroom. 

Designers, with a difference

At Ako Playrooms we are educational experts, who truly value play and learning and how they interlink in an effective Play Environment. We design kid’s playrooms, bedrooms and family spaces that are built on best educational practices and developmental psychology.

Transformational Design

We transform ‘almost there’ play spaces into engaging, interactive and holistic play environments. Playrooms that will spark your child’s imagination, motivate their curiosity, foster their active play and maybe even bring out that inner child in you!

Our Name

The name Ako comes from te ao Māori, meaning to learn and to teach. Ako Playrooms take this philosophy to heart, especially when it comes to designing play spaces. We team up with both our little and big clients to create the ultimate play experience. Mahi tahi!
