What happens? 

9:30am - Registration and informal play


10:00am - Singing and Stories

• All come together on the mat/chairs for introductions, news, singing, dancing, story time and information about upcoming events etc. It would be appreciated if everyone could gather together for this time of listening quietly and participating.
• A time of thanks for our food - a children's Grace before morning tea.

10:30am - Morning Tea

• outside/inside depending on the weather
• parents provide morning tea for their children (water and tiny teddies available)
• morning tea provided for parents/carers

11:00am - Craft

• Craft activity - parents are encouraged to help their child/children in this "fun" time. Carers are available to assist with mums/dads who have two children or more!

11:30am - Packing up and home.

As a participant we hope you are happy to:

• be fully responsible for your child/children
• participate with your child/children.  It is an opportunity for you to interact with them and to have some "quality time."
• wear your name tag - this helps the carers and the new mums/dads.
• help in packing up, replacing toys in the labelled containers
• have your child wear a hat
• have fun with your child/children and us
• offer any suggestions you may have to assist us in making Play Place a happy, caring, Christian environment.
