Looking for a local playgroup for your little one?
Playgroups are a wonderful way for babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children to explore, learn through play and make new friends. They're also a great opportunity for parents, grandparents and carers to meet other families and build connections in their local community.
Whether you're looking for a weekly playgroup, a school-based early years program or a casual community gathering, there are a range of options across Bundaberg, Bargara, Childers, Gin Gin and surrounding communities.
Before you go: Playgroup days, times, locations and costs can change throughout the year, particularly during school holidays. We recommend contacting the organiser or checking their Facebook page before attending.
