About National Playgroup Week

National Playgroup Week is held each year in March. It is an opportunity to celebrate play, and advocate for and promote playgroups across the country. Playgroups open their doors and welcome new families during National Playgroup Week.

Play Matters Australia encourages playgroups to hold open days and provides digital resource kits to groups.
