People are the hubs, the places where they gather are the enablers, with choice paramount to be truly responsive to community need - especially the most vulnerable and marginalised.

Playgroups are the glue, forging critical collaborations and connections in the first 2,000 days to ensure that every child, in every family, in every community thrives.

Parents to children.
Children to children.
Parent to parents.
Parents to community.
Children to community.
Parents to services and supports.
Children to services and supports.

Prevention.
Early intervention.
Protection.

All bundled up in the joy of play.

Playgroups are in and of themselves hubs, located at schools, community centres, clinics, early childhood intervention organisations, parks, shopping malls, preschools and halls.

The gathering of children and families together creates the hub - the people are the hub, the place is the enabler and the place can be anywhere.

We are proud to be the glue in the hub.

If we want better outcomes, we need to start where development actually happens.

On the floor.
In play.
In relationships.

When families plug into playgroups:
• Early learning is embedded from day one
• Social and emotional skills develop through connection
• Communication and language grow naturally
• Physical wellbeing supports cognitive development

This is not separate from school readiness.
It is the foundation of it.

And it aligns directly to what we measure in AEDC - because play is where those domains are first built.

Play is the spark.
Outcomes are the result.
