The Importance of Play
Play improves children’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional development and wellbeing.
During play, children create meaning from the world around them. It offers children the opportunity to think, plan, create, do and explore.

Playgroups & U5's Activities
Our playgroups are a wonderful way for families to play together and connect with other local families in a social, supportive environment. They can share experiences and form friendships at their own pace.
Playgroups are a great way to gently re-introduce children to social and educational activities after Melbourne’s many lockdowns. Playgroup friendships for parents are just as important – we encourage parents to come and meet new people, create support networks and share experiences.
Mums, dads, grandparents and carers are all welcome to join in!
Families can join an existing group or start their own. New parent groups wishing to create their own playgroup are encouraged to contact us. We would love to welcome you and your group.
Our playgroups operate during school terms and offer a welcoming environment for children from birth to five years. We offer children and their parents/carers the opportunity to participate in a wide range of indoor and outdoor play-based experiences. We have a large courtyard with lots of toys and a shaded sandpit.
Connect with other families from the local community and encourage your child to develop social skills, emotional confidence, imagination and creativity at their own pace.
