Playgroups Returning after Covid-19
We know that being unable to join or attend a playgroup has been challenging for families since groups were suspended in March 2020. We also know that parents and caregivers are very concerned to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their children. In light of the current levels of infection in the community, state and territory governments are beginning to implement a staged approach to the return of community life. Each state and territory will re-open activities at a time and in an order determined by them.
Playgroup Australia and its member state and territory playgroup organisations will continue to support playgroups and playgroup families to connect virtually through our Playgroup at Home and Virtual Playgroup initiatives. In addition, we are preparing to support playgroups to return to playgroup sessions.
Dress Up Month at Playgroup
Dress up, role playing or imaginative play builds confident learners! Dramatic play through dressing up, role playing and using imagination is often a big part of the way children play and form a stronger understanding of the world around them. When role playing, children use their imaginations, practice sounds, speech and language, share, take turns and learn to cooperate, all which contribute to developing social and problem solving skills for life.
