FACILITATED SESSIONS

North Ringwood Playgroup is philosophically and structurally committed to having the presence of a paid, qualified facilitator at all sessions.

One of the main benefits of a facilitated playgroup is you do not need to commit to setting up or packing up a session.

It is all planned and done for you! Our facilitators do appreciate some help at pack up time, but all you need to do is put some toys in a box or move some equipment to our shed. A great skill for young children to learn...tidying up!

Trust us after the first few sessions your child/ren will be asking you “are we going to playgroup today?”, and you will be wishing it wasn’t only once a week!

Supporting Children's Early Development

Playgroup is a wonderful way to prepare your child for pre-school/kinder.

It is a relaxed environment (although chaotic at times!) where parents/carers can enjoy a cuppa and share parenting stories.

Children can learn from new play experiences and learn how to socilaise and play together.

Our playgroup provides a variety of toys for age groups 0-5 years.

Why Choose Us?

Our range of indoor and outdoor activities means there is very little repetition and always something new and exciting for the kids.

New toys are purchased regularly so the quality is of a high standard and the kids are always interested.

We have amazing support through Playgroup Victoria. The Playgroup Vic website is full of great deals and advice. www.playgroup.org.au

We set up sensory and messy play experiences meaning the mess stays at playgroup and your house remains clean!
