Playgroup takes place on Monday mornings 9:00-11:00am in the Pre-Kindy classroom. Please note that playgroup will not take place on pupil free days, public holidays and school holidays. Our playgroup is unique, as it is facilitated by an experienced Early Childhood Teacher.
Playgroup presents a wonderful opportunity for similarly aged children and their parents to gather. Research shows that playgroup is of benefit to both children and parents. Children are able to further their social development, while parents have the opportunity to receive support and knowledge from others.
Our playgroup aims to:
- Offer a stimulating environment for your child to play with others
- Allow children to explore, develop and build on many skills already established
- Provide a chance to meet other families in our community
- Offer support and encouragement to parents
- Help parents develop a wonderful support network
