Notice

Due to staff illness, Playgroup will not be run on Wednesday 8 November 2023.

Mercedes College Playgroup provides a range of learning experiences that strengthen fundamental early childhood developmental skills: fine and gross motor skills, language, collaboration, sensory and social skills.

Families are invited to play with their little one/s, as it's through experimentation that children learn.

Mercedes College Playgroup is hosted in our Out of School Hours Care space with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities for children to participate in.

What to bring 
Please bring a healthy snack and drink (water is ideal) for your child each week.

Also, we are a nut-free environment and encourage food that is not wrapped/packaged.

A hat and sunscreen is required for outdoor play.

All families are welcome
All families are invited to join us, and we look forward to welcoming you to Playgroup.
