Malanda Playgroup

Malanda Playgroup Connecting parents/carers as their child's first teacher through positive play. Our motto for Malanda Playgroup is “many hands make light work”.

Welcome

Our positively remarkable Malanda Playgroup has been running for over 4 years at the Malanda State School on Mary Street. Access is through the gate near the large playgroup sign to the left of the office in the library meeting room. We run during school terms and welcome all community members with children aged 0-5 years. Malanda Playgroup is held on Tuesdays from 9:00-11:30pm and provid

es fun indoor/outdoor play and craft activities. Malanda Playgroup is a not for profit community organisation that is volunteer run with a paid manager. Our group provides a welcoming, safe and supportive environment for parents and carers to meet and make lasting connections and friendships. We hope that you and your child/children have a wonderful experience being involved in our group. We provide our children with stimulating activities through play that are age and developmentally appropriate. Our wish is that you can come along, have a cuppa from the coffee van, and enjoy some down time either with your child or watching your child whilst having a much-needed chat with other adults. This allows all members to contribute where they can and all members to enjoy the benefits that our ‘Positively Remarkable’ Playgroup has to offer.

What a way to end the year!!! Thanks to everyone who came today, and helped decorate cookies, played, read, made reindeer food and welcomed Santa to Playgroup!! We had a lovely morning and hope you and your little people did too 🥰

Thanks everyone who joins us weekly, or monthly, or whenever you can. Mandy and I believe playgroups are a place where parents can meet other parents, feel welcome and safe. And where little people can have fun, learn, and make little friends ❤️

Thanks to Malanda State School and everyone behind the scenes for making playgroup possible.

Thanks to our lovely Kerri-lee Hayes and her amazing coffee, babycinos and squeaky ducks 🤣 and always welcoming everyone with a smile.

Thanks to all the parents who help pack up and keep an eye on other parents’ children when they try to escape or you need to collect your coffee, or need a bathroom break!

It has been an absolute privilege to have been part of your weeks this year and for the last few years. And seeing your little people grow! Especially the 4 friends who are off to Prep next year. We will miss you! ❤️

Enjoy the break. Malanda Playgroup will return next year!! Keep an eye here for updates!!

***LAST PLAYGROUP OF 2024*** 😱😪🎄

We will have some Christmas fun and so some activities and we will have a special visitor at 10am (remember to bring a small wrapped present with your child's name on it, if you'd like Santa to hand it to them and place sneakily in Kerri's car, right next to coffee van 😉) We will also have the usual toys and activities.

Bring a small plate to share as we all have a Christmas morning tea together 😄

We will say bye-bye to our small friends who are off to Prep next year too... 😌It's been so lovely watching them grow and be part of this amazing playgroup community for the last few years!!

See you on Tuesday from 9am!!!
