Children and Parents

Playgroup

Wednesdays 9.30am – 11.30am

Enquiries to Parish Office ph 09 299 6056

St Mary’s playgroup was established in 1995 and receives funding through the Ministry of Education.  It is a parent group, operated on a co-operative model meaning mums, dads and  grandparents are asked to take turns with the activity and ‘set up’ rosters.

The church hall provides a fantastic in door space that is filled with colour, sound and new experiences.  This is a well run session offering lots of choices for play including an indoor bouncy castle, book area and ride on toys.   Outside a small grassed area is home to the new climbing fort and other outside toys all nicely enclosed in a safely gated community.  Mums, dads and grandparents alike enjoy the variety and chance to meet with other families.  It’s a great social time for the children too!

Morning tea of drinks and crackers are provided by the centre, supplemented with fruit brought by the families.  A donation of $1 per child per session is appreciated.
