Playgroups

Playgroups are a great way for children to interact with others in a fun and safe environment along with a sense of belonging to the community, opportunities to form friendships and share ideas and information.

​

Our playgroups are designed to help children learn, play and grow. They provide children opportunities to develop fine motor skills,  hand-eye co-ordination as well as learning to socialise and talk with other children.
