Play Group
AACS’s play group provides an opportunity for children under 5 years of age to play and learn in a safe and caring environment. It is held in the large community hall located at our Susan Street location.
Our play group is free of charge to Auburn residents and operates every Tuesday from 11.00am to 12.30pm.
Our play group supports mothers to make connections with other mothers from the same cultural background. It offers a safe, warm, and family centered environment to support mothers and carers to build strong social networks.
Children will participate in the planned indoor activities and use Ana Kindergarten’s spacious, outdoor playground to play and interact with each other. Our playgroup coordinators will set up a range of play and learning experiences to support the individual interests of your child to promote their social and emotional development.
Parents and carers must remain present and are responsible for the supervision of their children at all times.
