Playgroup
No bookings necessary. Just come along and enjoy the fun! The emphasis of the playgroup is on:
- child-initiated play,
- supervised by a parent or carer,
- in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Experienced play leaders set up a wide range of activities to suit the needs of children aged 0-5. Creative, indoor and outdoor activities include:
- painting and collage,
- puzzles and play dough,
- water & sand play,
- group singing & music, and
- reading time.

Tips for enjoying Playgroup
The aim is for adults and children to enjoy being together.
Please introduce yourself to the Play Leaders on your first visit.
When signing in make a name tag for your child so he/she can be called by their name: they like this and it helps the play leaders and others learn their names.
Supervision: It is not the Play Leader's job to look after the children. The Play Leader's are there to facilitate play and all supervision is the responsibilty of parents and carers.
Wear old clothes. Messy activities are an important part of children's play. Painting smocks are available.
Packing up is a group activity and occurs around 11:45 am (before singing). Your help is needed and appreciated. It is also great role modelling for your children.
Indoor activity items (eg puzzles, trains etc) are to be kept in their area so they remain intact.
Parking is available in the Ridge Street car park. There are concessions for Playgroup users. Simply bring your card from the car park and stamp it when you register for each session.
Food and drink: tea & coffee facilities are available for adults (50 cents/cup). Please wash and dry your cup. Please keep children's food and drink outside.
Prams: need to be left outside. For further information, call us on 9922 2299.
