Supported playgroups

Council runs supported playgroups, that are led by a specially trained and qualified playgroup leader.

Supported playgroups give families the opportunity to:

  • learn new ideas for their children’s learning and development
  • build parenting skills and confidence using the Smalltalk program
  • meet other parents and carers
  • learn about and connect with local services
  • have fun with other children and families
