Welcome to Mons Baby Thursday Playgroup

Baby Playgroup for families with bubs aged birth - 12 months. Baby Playgroup is a time for you and your child to share, learn and grow together whilst meeting other parents. The group is facilitated by Play Matters staff. It's a great opportunity to transition from Mums group to Baby Playgroup. Bring your new friends with you and meet some other local families. Or, come alone and we will be waiting to make you feel welcome. Baby Playgroup gives new parents a chance to meet and discuss ideas, challenges and the joy and the sometimes frustration of parenting. Great venue at the Play Matters Sunshine Coast Hub with an opportunity to link into other services. We meet upstairs in The Meeting House or outside under the trees if weather permits, 10am to 11.30am. Don't worry if you are running late. We know what it can be like leaving home with a baby! Coffee van drops in each morning. Baby Playgroup is a FREE service with membership to Play Matters also FREE. The group does not meet during school holidays. For more details contact Michelle 5453 4938 or mpoole@playmatters.org.au We look forward to welcoming you!
