Online Playgroups
Play Matters > What we do > Online Playgroups
Play Matters Australia hosts two online baby playgroups every Wednesday morning.
9.15am and 1 pm
Connecting Families
We understand the challenges of raising a baby and the importance of connecting with other parents in this journey. At our online baby playgroups, you can join our facilitators, other parents, and their little ones for an interactive and fun play experience.
Our playgroups are held in a secure and engaging virtual environment and are led by experienced play experts, who are passionate about nurturing young minds.
Whether your baby is just starting to explore their surroundings or already a budding social butterfly, our playgroups offer a safe and fun space for play, learning, and friendly fun.
Support and Connection
Playgroups support parents by helping them to build connections with other parents in a relaxed environment, improving confidence in their parenting skills, and providing advice and referrals where more support is required.
Our online baby playgroups provide accessible opportunities for play and connection where face-to-face programs are unavailable or difficult to attend. At Play Matters Australia, we understand the challenges of parenting, as well as trying circumstances that can impact a family’s ability to attend playgroups, or programs, such as transport limitations, distance to home and the difficulties in organising the little ones, especially babies, for trips out of the house. We aim to support parents in all ways we can.
“Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury.
Play is a necessity”
- Kay Redfield Jamison
Flexible and Engaging
These special sessions allow parents to participate and connect with other like-minded parents without spending too much time preparing or getting ready. Parents can jump online between breakfast and naptime and enjoy an engaging experience.
Our weekly sessions run over Zoom every Wednesday during term time at 9:30am and 11:00am. We’ll sing, move, read books and have fun playing with facilitated activities that are developmentally appropriate for your little one!
Registration is required, but sessions are FREE.
