25.01.2022 Happy Diwali Day! Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance." In Australia we are so lucky to have a culturally rich home to raise our children. As we approach 2021, we encourage celebration of the cultures and traditions of local and neighbouring communities - so children can experience and explore the joys of light, food, colour and harmony gained through these connections.... #DiwaliDay #PlaygroupCulture

21.01.2022 To every kind of mother providing love, care and support to children, today we celebrate you! Together, we are creating new traditions and definitions that represent motherhood in all forms, because we know how important it is to recognise every woman in every village! #mothersday #celebratingallmothers #mothersdayfordads... #playgroupmothers #mumtribe See more

21.01.2022 We want to help raise a #TransAware Village. Children learn language through everyday interactions with the adults around them, so it's important we place children in a position where they are learning the best examples to express their unique developing identities. We know this can be a complex and changing space, but we want to encourage open conversation and respect. We want to empower children and communities to respect others identity and right to changing identities. ... This week, model language that is respectful and trans aware, use respectful pronouns like they/them/their when referring to others. Never assume. And if you get it wrong, that's ok - take it as an opportunity to learn. #minus18 #wearpurple #theythemtheir #transawarenessweek #playgrouppronouns

19.01.2022 As we head towards the weekend, remember to shine a little light on kindness! When your children do something kind, acknowledge it, be thankful for it - point out random acts of kindness as you go about your weekends, do kind things, be kind. Together, we can teach children the single most powerful thing - kindness!... #WorldKindnessDay #PlaygroupKindness #ALittleKindnessGoesALongWay #RandomActsOfKindness

18.01.2022 It's that time of year again! World Nursery Rhyme Week. Well actually for many parents and caregivers, it's always nursery rhyme time. Why are we celebrating? Because nursery rhymes are one of the most effective ways of engaging babies and children in developing language and numeracy skills and much more. So whether you use existing nursery rhymes, or create you own through daily routines around the house and at playgroup, it doesn't matter. Read, play recorded tunes or get ...creative all for the importance of learning through play! #WNRW2020 #RhymeTime #LearnThroughPlay

16.01.2022 Parent's, caregivers and grandparent's - our friends at Australian Institute of Family Studies are running a follow up survey to see how your family is building back better towards Covid normal. This year we have all faced new challenges, opportunities and changes that we can all learn and grow from. We encourage you to join us in completing the follow up survey and help make a difference to the way families navigate the new year.

15.01.2022 If you're still feeling a buzz or a flutter from the wonderful series two of #OldPeoplesHomeAU, perhaps you are ready to plant a seed that you can grow and nurture. With community support and engagement we hope to bring more intergenerational play to children and their families through playgroup. For everything you need to know about Intergenerational Playgroups, visit our website and start connecting with your local state and territory playgroup organisations intergenerational initiatives: https://playgroupaustralia.org.au/intergenerational-playgr/ #intergenerationalplaygroups #intergenerationalplay #youngandoldatplay

14.01.2022 #Retweet @playgroupnsw: This is a fun activity for children to get involved in planting seedlings and teaching them about where our fauna comes from as well as being resourceful and recycling materials! Instructions: Mist the empty shells with a spray bottle. Draw a face with a black marker on one side of the eggshell.... Then, using a small spoon, they can fill each one with pre-moistened potting or seed-starting soil. Two or three seeds in each shell according to directions, and then mist soil with water. Put the eggs shells back into an egg carton and put in a warm sunny place. Happy planting! #PlaygroupPlants #SustainablePlaygroups #NaturePlay #Sprout #PlaygroupGrows #eggseedlings #PlaygroupSeedlings #GreenThumb

07.01.2022 World Children's Day is a time for generations to come together to reimagine the type of world we want to create. While this year has seen children and families face many unknowns, it has also been an incredible reminder that we have what it takes to reimagine and create a better, brighter tomorrow. Every child deserves the right to play, to imagine and to be inspired to create! We all play an important role in supporting the rights of #everychild, to that together we can #...buildbackbetter. #RightToPlay #WorldChildrensDay2020 #FutureReimagined #ChildrenMatter #PlaygroupKid
