Welcome to East Brisbane Play Group

Our School Playgroup is a friendly and relaxed space for carers and their young children to connect, play, and enjoy time together. It’s a great opportunity to get out of the house, meet other local carers, and be part of a supportive community. Each session is filled with fun, age-appropriate activities including play, songs, and stories - giving children the chance to explore and learn while you enjoy a chat and a coffee with others in the same stage of life. Whether you’re looking to make new connections, keep your little one entertained, or simply enjoy a change of scenery, our playgroup is a welcoming place where both you and your child will feel at home. Parking is limited at the school, so please park on nearby side streets.
