Tuesday Playgroup - visit from Smiling Starts Early Childhood Dental program

Today we have a visit from Smiling Starts Early Childhood Dental program from 10.30am

For eligible children (aged 6 to 29 months), Smiling Starts education sessions offer:

• information about why baby teeth are important and how they help children develop
• a free tooth check by a dental health professional
• child-friendly, gentle dental treatments or a referral if required.

Come along to playgroup!

Playgroups are suitable for families whose children are not yet at school.  They are facilitated by Fiona Browne who has many years of experience in providing stimulating, educational and fun activities for young children.  

You can arrive any time you like.  Generally there is a choice of inside and outside activities set up from 9.30, and the children are encouraged to choose which activities they would like to engage with.  At around 10.45 parents and children assist in packing away before fruit and mat time at 11am where children eat their fruit, listen to a story and take part in action rhymes and songs.  Home time is at 11.30am.

Bookings preferred but not essential.  Free to members, casual cost $5 per session.

Please bring:

* a piece of fruit to share for fruit time 

* water bottle

* hat

* change of clothes

Playgroup is not only a chance for your child to develop gross and fine motor skills but also social skills.  For parents, it is great to meet other people at a similar stage in their parenting.  Hope to see you there!
