What to expect during each session:
​
-
Our sessions incorporate free indoor and outdoor play.
-
Children have the opportunity to socialise, participate in group activities, and engage in self-directed play.
-
It is a great opportunity for adults to meet people and to build a strong support network in their community. At times it can be good to know there is someone in your local community you can rely on when you need help or someone to talk to.
-
Morning tea is brought along for each child from home. Prior to COVID-19 this was a shared time, and children ate a shared food platter together. We still encourage eating together at the tables however, right now children eat their own snacks brought from home either at the tables or outside.
-
Adults are required to supervise their children and assist with clean up.
-
During each term we organise events such as easter egg hunts, incursions, End of year celebrations etc.
Photos are occasionally taken by committee members to post on Instagram and Facebook. If you do not wish for your child to be photographed at all, please let the session leader know.
