Supported Playgroup

Mobile Header bird
Our FREE supported playgroup in Kirrawee for children aged 0-5 and their families.
 
Our playgroup provides a unique opportunity for you to ask our experts any questions you have and to review your child’s development. It’s also great fun for your child!
 
The playgroup is free of charge. It has been funded by a NSW Department of Education Start Strong Pathways Grant.
We follow a set format, starting with a developmental-friendly activity such as arts and craft, followed by learning a key word sign and finishing off with story time.
