Join us in this supported playgroup for families with children aged 0-6 years. This is a free group based on the Smalltalk supported playgroup model and is designed to boost early learning.
On every Thursday during school terms, our supported playgroup at Tenambit is based on the evidence-based smalltalk supported playgroup model developed by the Parenting Research Centre. It is open to families across the Maitland LGA, with children aged 0-6 years, that would like additional support to help them identify everyday opportunities that promote learning and development.
Parents register for a term and are supported to not only learn lots of great strategies but to also be connected with local community playgroups. The group is facilitated by staff qualified in community services and early education to ensure parents receive timely support for their questions. There is no cost for this group and a selection of seasonal fruit is provided at morning tea.
Activities & learning areas include:
- Early literacy
- Emotion coaching
- Fine motor skills
- Feeling safe
- Yoga
- Gentle play
