Learning Through Play

Communities for Children Gladstone is used to running three playgroups a week out of the Child & Family Centre but with schools, kindergartens and playgroups closed for a few more weeks educators are coming up with creative ways for students to access their programs from home.

To change with the time’s playgroup facilitators had the bright idea to craft take-home activity packs for the children who are no longer able to attend their usual playgroups and programs. To accompany the activity packs facilitators will be uploading instructional videos to the playgroups Facebook pages, teaching the children how to complete the activity from home. This also allows parents and children who might not necessarily belong to the playgroup join in provided they have the resources for the activity at home.
