Our Supported Playgroup Programs

These playgroups are for families that may require extra support. At a supported playgroup families can seek out advice, find information about support services and extend their social network. Supported Playgroups are led by a facilitator who is there to assist in a wide range of areas.

Bringing Together Children of All Abilities

Play and Learn Supported Playgroups

Play and Learn Supported Playgroups (PALS) are an inclusion program for children of all abilities and their families. PALS brings together children with disabilities, developmental delays and children developing typically ages 0-5 years. The program works in partnerships with other community services that provides a strong emphasis on creative arts, sports and recreation (CASR) activities. All the activities within the PALS program encourage children and families to connect, build awareness and foster inclusive communities in a safe and welcoming environment. PALS Playgroups are supported by a qualified facilitator.
