They help reduce the isolation that comes with parenting while providing a safe environment for babies to explore, learn, and socialize. For babies, play is not just fun – it is crucial for their overall learning and development.

Through play-based experiences, babies enhance their senses, language, cognitive (brain) thinking, and motor skills. Learning to play with your baby can be daunting at first.

Baby playgroups are a wonderful way to introduce play and allow parents to share ideas and provide socialization opportunities at the same time.

Baby playgroups offer a great opportunity for families—to come together, share experiences, and build lasting connections.

• Armstrong Creek Baby Playgroup - Biyala Community Hub, Armstrong Creek - Tuesday mornings 11am-12:30pm
