Monday’s are a day to look forward to for the youngest residents of Diggers Rest, and their families – it’s play day.
Every Monday morning Diggers Rest Primary School hosts the Little Diggers playgroup, which invites babies and children up to preschool age, and their families, for a morning of activities and socialising.
Facilitator Lisa Giggins said the playgroup was the only one in the area and an extremely important outlet for Diggers Rest families.
“The children get used to seeing each other, week after week and they look forward to coming and seeing their playgroup friends,” Ms Giggins said.
“They can play with a lot of different children around their age, which they really enjoy.”
She said it was also a great opportunity for parents.
“They get to meet other parents in the community who are in the same position with young children, and they can share their stories with each other,” she said.
“I enjoy providing the opportunity to these families, to be able to come together.
“Everybody is welcome to come and join our playgroup … meet new families and make new friends.”
The playgroup is free and is held every Monday, 9-11am at Diggers Rest Primary School. Call Lisa Giggins on 9740 1391 for more details.
