Penrith Playgroup

Western Sydney Parents get ready for a new Rainbow Families Playgroup in Penrith! 

The Penrith Rainbow Families Playgroup runs from the Emu Heights Nehigbourhood Centre and provides parents and carers with an opportunity to meet other parents, make friends and share experiences and ideas. Children have fun, make new friends and develop through play. Playgroup is for newborns through to school aged children.

The group is 100% volunteer run by LGBTIQA+ parents, and is part of the network of Playgroup NSW, which is very excited to support the group.

 All playgroups depend on new memberships and families getting involved to help them grow and keep them running. We would love local families to come and be part of this new community. 

For more information on the Penrith playgroup check out the Facebook group, or just turn up on the day - you are welcome to try two sessions before deciding to join Playgroups NSW. The weekly session fees are $5 and a piece of fruit to share for morning tea. 

Where: Emu Heights Neighbourhood Centre - 38 Wedmore Rd, Emu Heights

When: Fridays from 10:00am to 12:00pm
