Who is this program for

Play2Learn is open to families with children aged 0-3, especially multicultural and First Nations families. We also welcome 4 year-olds who have eligible support needs.

About the program

Play2Learn provides weekly playgroup sessions for children aged 0-3 (up to 4, for eligible children) and their families who are in need of additional early learning and development support in the years before school. 

Research tells us that safe and supported play in the early years has a real, positive impact on children’s development. They learn better at school, have better relationships with family and friends and are more likely to reach their full potential in life. That’s why we focus our support on communities with limited access to early supports, providing  free weekly sessions which are proven to improve outcomes for children and families.

This program includes

Over a 20-week program, Play2Learn supports families through:
Playgroups to support children’s early development, wellbeing and school readiness
Bringing up Great Kids, a 6-week online parent coaching program
1:1 caregiver mentoring to support families to build practical skills and strategies to support their child’s development
Early intervention support in child health, learning and development concerns through warm referrals to specialist services
