Need a fun new activity for your little one? Every family, whether new to Canberra or lifelong locals, needs a community hub. ACT Playgroups is exactly that. This wonderful non-profit organisation is dedicated to helping families and young children thrive right here in the Capital Territory.
What exactly is a playgroup? Simply put, it is a casual get-together for children from birth to five years old. Parents and caregivers attend with their kids. It’s a space where children can learn and grow through play. This means painting, singing, reading, and generally having a blast. For parents, it is a crucial lifeline. It’s a chance to meet others, share stories, and find support in the parenting journey.
ACT Playgroups knows that one size does not fit all. You can find many different kinds of groups across all Canberra suburbs. They have Community Playgroups for general fun and socialisation.
Beyond the regular weekly sessions, Playgroup ACT hosts exciting events. They put on large annual events, like the famous PLAYFEST. These celebrations are jam-packed with activities and are always a highlight on the Canberra family calendar. They truly make play central to the community.
If you are a family moving to Canberra, or just needing a fresh start, ACT Playgroups provides essential support.
