DATE: 20th – 21st November 2024
LOCATION: Novotel Preston, 215 Bell St, Preston, Victoria
Our 2024 conference will bring together various members of the early years community and those who interlink. Together we will reflect on the benefits of playgroup over time- and the mounting evidence and research that shows the positive outcomes of playgroup. The idiom ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ has been part of the playgroup philosophy since the beginning and is still carried through the generations- and is highly valued as such. Book your discounted early-bird tickets now!
