Play Groups

Group Activities

Enjoy our play groups and extra-curricular activities

Marlin Coast Family Day Care regularly host play groups at our office, community halls, aged care facilities and community parks. We invite any children involved in our service to join us. 

Social events such as play groups and community events are a great way to enhance a child’s social, emotional and behavioural development, encourage a feeling of belonging through engaging in activities with small and large group settings in readiness for school.

Enhance Social Skills

Play groups help children positively approach other children, make friends, participate in play, share and take turns which gives them the skills to also develop resilience.

Develop Cognitive Skills

Play groups help children learn to be inquisitive and be interested in solving problems together and alone.

Promote Respect for Diversity

Play groups provide opportunities for children to listen to people from a range of backgrounds and their perspectives.

All families and siblings within the scheme are invited to join play groups. Check the play group program for events and upcoming play group venues.
