Kindy Kids Perth

Playgroup

Playgroup Perth

Our playgroup is a little different from other playgroups, we will be focusing on a structured routine for 2-3 year old children.

Each week your child will be required to bring a piece of fruit or veg in an individual container to eat for morning tea and a drink bottle with water only. They will also be required to wear a sun hat for outdoor play.

The aim of the Playgroup is to start preparing the children for a smooth transaction into Kindy Kids.

Various activities will be set up each week, incorporating different themes and particularly working on strengthening your child’s fine motor skills, role play, routine, creativity, sharing, physical, social etc.

How Does it work ?

  • When the bells ring at 9.35 please sit with your child on the mat for the morning song and registration. When your child’s name is called assist them to wave.
  • When bells ring again this is to stop playing and begin packing away for fruit time. Children will sit on the mat for a short story while the tables are prepared for fruit time. Children will then wash hands with their parent and sit down for fruit time.
  • The final bells will ring for our goodbye song, please sit with your child on the mat for the final song time.
  • The playgroup activities will run from the Kindy Kids program each week. If you wish anything to be added please feel free to let us know.
  • If you do not wish your child to participate in particular activities e.g. Mother’s day, Father’s day, Christmas, simply inform a staff member.
  • Please remember to supervise your child at all times indoor and outdoor. If you have younger or older siblings, if possible, have them watched by a family member at home. We will have age appropriate toys for this group of children. Please feel free to discuss this with a staff member
  • We will have a Parent rota for the term to help pack away, wash down tables for fruit time etc.… it would be greatly appreciated if you could help Tammy.
