Our Playgroup. Our Family. Our Community
At North Ringwood Uniting Church Playgroup, we want to foster an environment where children are loved and nurtured to be all that they can be. Our fully trained staff and volunteers make sure that your child feels safe and loved the entire time they are present, and you can have peace of mind that your child is in a place where they will develop as one of God’s children.
Activities
Play time
NRUC Playgroup offers a wide variety of activities for children (birth-school age) to practice and expand different abilities.
Through play, social interaction, construction, and art, children have the opportunity to learn about their world in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
Art
Each week we offer a different craft that correlates with a theme and/or story read at the end of the session. Easels or painting stations are always available for kids to express their creativity through the use of colour, shapes, stamps, paint, and much more.
Story Time
Story time encourages to teach children about listening and engagement. It is a time for parents/carers to set an example of how to listen and be involved in a group setting. We always start with a welcome song that engages each child individually, followed by group interactions (guess what is in the story today with hints inside a box).
Music
At the end of every Playgroup session we conclude with singing and dancing. Creative movement is encouraged, and spatial awareness grows in this environment. It is not only fun, but also a special way to connect as a group.
