Little Explorers Playgroup

It is with very heavy hearts that we are finally making a call for 2026 - Little Explorers Playgroup in its current form is ending.

LEP has operated as a ministry of Uniting Church in Gladstone & Tannum Sands for more years than anyone is quite sure about, but it is somewhere around 25-30 years. We have watched countless children and families grow up with us, leave us for new adventures at school or in other places, and some even return with their own children. So many people have been a part of LEP and helped make it what it was through numerous different iterations.
We have been blessed with many leaders in that time, but we have reached a point where there are not the volunteers available to continue LEP. We will miss our playgroup friends tremendously, and want to thank everyone for their love and support over all the many years.

No good thing can be allowed to end without a send-off, so we are holding a service of thanksgiving this coming Sunday 8th February at the Gladstone Uniting Church at 9:15am. Everyone is welcome to attend. We will also be holding a more informal celebratory event at some point where we will invite anyone who has been a part of our playgroup at any time to come and share some memories. Watch this space!

For now, thank you all, and farewell from some very teary LEP crew. Mondays just won't be the same without you all. God bless.

Wishing all our Little Explorers heading off to kindy and prep this week all the very best!
(Mums and dads, too!)

See you Monday!

Our last Little Explorers Playgroup for 2025 is next week, Monday 1 December. We're bringing a plate to share to enjoy our breakup and celebrate another year of fun, friends and fellowship. See you there!

Happy Mother’s Day!! Hope you all have an amazing day…. And a rest for those who need it!

That's a wrap for term 1 with our annual Easter egg hunting fun!
Thank you to all our families who have come along this term. Hoping the weather cools off a bit in time for our next playgroup when we return after the holidays on April 28.

A new year means a new High Tea! Save the date, and get Mother's Day organised early with a ticket to our 2025 High Tea. Buy tickets here: https://form.jotform.com/250697410909867
