What to expect at Playgroup

Playgroups are setup by parents and carers, with children, choosing a range of activities set up to meet their varying needs. Each parent/carer is responsible for the supervision and safety of their child/children. Activities at playgroup are either free or low cost, and may include:

• Music and singing

• Imaginative play

• free play

• Art and craft activities

• Outings

Squiggles Playgroup

Our Playgroup caters for children from birth to 5 years and we organize a range of activities to suit the children’s developmental levels. As Playgroup is also for parents/ carers, we try to make it fun for the grownups too!

When and Where

Squiggles Playgroup meets at the PCYC, on Bridge Street, each Thursday Morning from 9.00am to 12.00pm.

Activity Preparation

We are all responsible for organising Playgroup activities. Members are asked to assist on the day in set up, execution and clean up of activities where needed. Any ideas for activities or outings are always welcomed.
