Koorana
is funded to provide 10 playgroups across the Canterbury and Bankstown
areas.
The Playgroups provide enjoyable learning activities for babies, toddlers
and young children under school age. The children experience being part
of a group, sharing toys, sharing adult attention and following a routine
that includes snack times, group activities and free play times. Just
as importantly, Playgroups give parents and carers an opportunity to meet
and share ideas and experiences in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Each Playgroup is run by a trained Early Childhood Educator and a Family
Worker. The staff plan activities for the children, lead group times,
and offer information and support to families.
When there is a waiting list, priority is given to families of children
who are approaching school age and have not been able to participate in
other children’s services such as preschool, and families who are
experiencing social isolation, economic hardship, family breakdown or
other stressful circumstances.
For more information about the Playgroups, please phone the Coordinator
on (02) 9758 2666.
