What is a playgroup?

Children and their parents or caregivers gather once or twice a week to play together, meet new friends, gain new skills, share ideas, learn about sharing and co-operation, and experience many new activities such as music circle-time and messy play. Each playgroup is different as it shapes itself to the meet the needs of its members and its community. Playgroups often meet in churches, schools or community centres; some playgroups meet at members' homes.
