Welcome to Little Stars

We are a warm and welcoming Christian-based playgroup designed to introduce individuals who may not typically attend church or be familiar with God to His love and care in a friendly, playgroup environment. Here, you can enjoy fellowship with others while your little ones play and learn. Before we dive into our morning tea, we take a moment for prayer, setting a positive tone for our gathering. Our playgroup features a variety of toys and mats in the main area of the church café, along with access to a delightful children's playground. Throughout our time together, we engage in story time, crafts, music, and activities that support the development of essential skills for children, including gross and fine motor skills, communication, and social interactions. We also prioritize connecting with parents, encouraging friendships among them while the café is open. We love to celebrate our children's birthdays with a special rendition of our happy birthday song! The cost to join us is just $3 each time.
