Nature Corner - Free Playgroups
Nature Corner is a free playgroup run by Children First that offers a fun and welcoming space for families with children aged 0–5 years.
Originally launched in response to parents strolling past our Children First – Plumpton Long Day Care Centre after school drop-off, Nature Corner provides a relaxed environment where families can stay, play, and connect with others in their community. The program is designed to help children build confidence, early social skills, and school readiness, while giving parents and carers a moment to unwind and form meaningful friendships.
With plans to expand Nature Corner to other locations where there’s community demand, this initiative continues to grow roots, right where they’re needed.
Familylinks - Free Playgroups & Parenting Programs in Mt Druitt
Familylinks offers supported playgroups for children 0-6 years within local Mount Druitt primary schools as well as facilitating a variety of other programs.
Playgroups are facilitated by early childhood trained educators and promote inclusion for all backgrounds and abilities. Children are encouraged to explore, investigate, problem-solve, and most importantly have lots of fun with supported, play-based activities.
Familylinks also provides a range of supported parenting programs, workshops and information sessions. These are designed to support, inform, educate, build confidence and develop new skills. They can also assist parents in recognising developmental concerns and provide links to the relevant community, medical or early intervention service providers.
