There are many reasons why families join Playgroup.  Playgroup provides children with the opportunities to:

• Have fun;
• Play with other children;
• Interact with other adults;
• Play with different toys and equipment;
• Participate in activities they may not be able to do at home;
• Develop motor, cognitive and social skills through play experiences;
• Participate in group excursions;
• Make the transition from home to the school environment easier.

Parents and carers benefit from attending Playgroup too.  You can:

• Enjoy playing with your child;
• Watch your child's development in different settings;
• Enjoy a break from the isolation of being at home;
• Make new friends;
• Share parenting experiences and develop a support network;
• Have fun too!
