Welcome to Cairns Hub Baby Playgroup

Spend the morning with your baby at the Play Matters Cairns Hub every Tuesday for a fun session led by a Play Matters Facilitator. Choose from either our 9.30am or 11.30am session, and for 1.5hrs we create a warm, fun and welcoming environment for your baby. We consider the various ages and stages of the children in the group, and we sing and play for the enjoyment of the babies, but to also demonstrate the importance of language and communication in the first year of life! Please note this playgroup is ONLY for children under the age of one.
