Playgroup is moving back to Erskineville

In October playgroup will be moving back to Joseph Sargent Community Centre on Prospect St in Erskineville.  It will still be $3 per family, and morning tea will still happen so keep bringing your fruit along to share with the group. This space has been renovated and is looking amazing. 

When someone in our community first becomes a parent, a Rainbow Families playgroups is often their first connection to the community. Some families may be isolated or not know many other parents, and arrive to find a friendly welcome. It’s a place for parents to get support with a new baby and for children to have a sense of community through friendships and play.

The Inner West Playgroup has been running in various forms for over 12 years, and has been passed on from one active volunteer parent to another over these years. For anyone that has come to playgroup this year you will have met Gill who kindly volunteers her time each Thursday to open up and welcome the families that come to playgroup. 

Playgroup will be moving on October 17th, so the first day in Erskineville will be Thursday October 24th. 


We look forward to seeing you at playgroup soon.
