Developmental Playgroups
Children’s Council invites families and their caregivers to participate together in a free playgroup for children aged birth to three years who have mild to moderate disabilities, learning differences and/or complex medical needs.
We understand that children learn best through play – these playgroups will ensure accessibility for all children to engage in developmentally appropriate, inclusive, sensory-based and hands-on learning activities. They will also offer parents and caregivers an opportunity to actively participate, supporting children’s development and well-being together.
