The sessions are set up similarly to a community playgroup with the aims of supporting children’s development and wellbeing as well as providing parents with social opportunities and parenting support. The sessions are planned and facilitated by experienced therapists who are able to tailor the activities to meet the specific needs of each client and their family.
This program has been designed in response to frequent feedback from parents about a lack of comfort attending mainstream playgroups and group activities with their children.
