Welcome to Dalby South - Little Sprouts Playgroup

2024 introduces Dalby South Little Sprouts playgroup to our community. We are incredibly excited to partner with Play Matters Australia to provide children with the best start to life by empowering parents and carers with the skills and confidence to guide and support their children's development through the fundamental act of play. Little Sprouts is lead by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, accepting all families with children from 1-5yrs. Little Sprouts playgroup meets every Tuesday from 9am - 11am during the school terms. We aim to help families develop a soft entry pathway for children starting school in the following year . Both Little Sprouts are held in the first classroom opposite the library with access via Bunya Street of Dalby South State School during school terms. Families will need hats, water bottles and lunch boxes.
