Welcome to Whitehill Playgroup (Raceview)

Whitehill Playgroup is a warm environment for children from birth to five years old to come along and create, explore and build friendships. The space is safe, air conditioned and allows children to engage in group and individual activities. We offer fine motor, gross motor, music and sensory play, role play and dress ups. Children are able to use their imaginations and learn from others as well as circle time and morning tea. Each term has a different theme and weekly craft and play activities are based around this theme. We also celebrate special events such as Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, Book Week and Christmas. Please bring along a water bottle and morning tea for your child. Parent’s morning tea is provided with Grandparents and Carers welcome. We run from week 2 to week 9 of each school term with an occasional offsite excursion. Cost is $5 per family or $30 per term (first visit free).
