Parents with young babies and children can now join welcoming and inviting supported playgroups at Daylesford and Creswick.
The new, free supported playgroup sessions are funded by the Victorian Department of Education and Training. Smalltalk supported playgroups include themed weeks, with a strong focus on promoting children’s development through play. Mums, dads and carers are also guided through the early challenges involved with parenting and raising children.
