Playgroups

Playgroups at Birthing in Our Community (BiOC) are run by our friends at Deadly Kindies and are an easy going and relaxed get-together for Mob.

Children playing with toys

MATSICHS playgroups welcome little ones from six weeks to five years old, as well as parents, grandparents, and carers. Playgroups offer a wide range of play-based learning experiences and support development in many areas, and are run by qualified Early Childhood Educators. 

What happens at MATSICHS playgroups?

MATSICHS Playgroups

Our weekly playgroup provides activities to support learning through play, as well as support for all areas of your child’s development including behaviour and eating concerns.  

We can also offer support to connect with childcare, kindergarten and in home playgroups.  

Paediatric clinicians, such as child health nurses, audiologists, speech and occupational therapists may pop into playgroup from time to time, providing an opportunity for parents to ask questions about their child’s development. 

A healthy morning tea and lunch is provided for all to enjoy.
