Playgroup Information
Playgroup is an informal time for parents and young children to socialise and learn through play experiences together. This is a great way for parents and children to make new friends and get to know the centre.
Playgroup operates from 10:00am—12:00pm at the Kindergarten every Monday, expect School Holidays and Public Holidays.
You will need a piece of fruit for shared fruit time or a snack (no nut products please). We also recommend you bring a hat, water bottle and wear sunscreen. Please do not wear good clothes, they may get messy and a spare set may be handy if they get wet or have an accident.

Occasional Care
What is it?
A childcare service provided by The Department of Education and Children's Services (DECS) for children under school age in small, community-based locations.
The care is provided in conjunction with the preschool program and using facilities.
The service primarily targets families where one parent is not in the paid workforce, but is also available for other family structures.
Occasional Care provides 'now and then' childcare to enable parents/caregivers to participate in activities, keep appointments, or have a break from their child/children on an occasional basis.
Sessions Offered
Tuesday 9:00am—11:45am for children between 0—5 years.
Thursday 9:00am—11:45am for children between 0—5 years
* You are able to access the full 2 ¾ hrs or a shorter time if desired.
I want to know more?
If you would like to find out more information, visit the facilities or make a booking you can call into the Kindergarten on Mais Tce or phone us on (08) 8636 2411, we are open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Parents need to fill in an enrolment form before children are able to stay.
Cost
Standard fee is $5.00 per session.
Concession fee is $1.50, a valid Health Care Card needs to be shown to the Staff.
Families with 2 or more children attending receive 50% reduction for the second and any subsequent children attending.
What do Children need to Bring?
A bag containing:
- Water Bottle
- Milk bottle/cup if it's part of their normal routine.
- Lunch Box with a healthy snack.
- Hat
- Change of clothing in case of a toileting accident.
- Nappies and wipes.
If your child is under two it may be helpful for staff to know their normal routine to help them feel safe and cared for.
If your child needs some help with toileting please let staff know so we help them continue their success.
Availability
Children between the age of 0—2 years can attend on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We can have 4 children and 1 extra in the case of an emergency.
Children between the age of 2—5 years can attend on Tuesday and/or Thursday mornings. We can have 8 children and 2 extra in the case of an emergency.
