Carmel Wednesday Playgroup

Our very popular Wednesday Playgroup will continue for families with children from 0-4 years from 8:40am during term time (excluding the first and last weeks of term).

How will your children benefit from Carmel Playgroup?

It is a safe and nurturing environment where children can play and learn under the guidance of one of our high-quality educators each week.

There will be many opportunities provided by the educators for the children to create, invent, reason and problem-solve with others in the group.

Many opportunities to build attachment between adults and children as they play together, and share time and experiences.

Children will also begin to learn social skills as they negotiate with peers, resolve conflict, take turns, share and, importantly, start to make friends.

Building resilience as a young person will enable them to cope with new situations and become familiar with and confident in the 69É«ÇéƬ surroundings.

The last week of Playgroup will be Wednesday 15 November 2023 for the year. We will post a new schedule for Term 1, 2024 in January.

ÌýHow will families benefit from Carmel Playgroup?

Our Playgroup provides a place where parents, and caregivers, can support each other by sharing ideas, parenting experiences, concerns and information.

A place where families can build long-term friendships as their children grow and transition to school.

As part of this group, you will have the opportunity to engage with and observe the high-quality educators at 69É«ÇéƬ in action.
