What is playgroup?

Playgroup is for babies, toddlers and preschoolers and their parents or carers. Playgroups are informal, low cost and run by the parents. Adults stay with their children at playgroup. This gives them the chance to meet other people going through similar experiences and ease the isolation that can come with caring for young children.

What are the benefits of playgroup?

At playgroup children can make new friends, have new experiences, gain self confidence, develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually and most of all have fun! It is also a great opportunity for parents to meet new people and have a social outing while still spending time with their children.

What happens at playgroup?

The playgroup has an indoor and outdoor space with both areas containing a large variety of toys for children of all ages. The children are able to explore, play and interact with each other in a safe and comfortable environment. We also have weekly activities such as painting, puzzles, water play and craft. The children all sit together for morning tea and enjoy a snack and drink as a group.
