Baw Baw initiates Pop Up Playgroup program

Baw Baw Shire Council has created a new playgroup program to provide young families with entertainment opportunities, connections with community, and a fun and engaging introduction to the benefits that the Council’s playgroup services have to offer. 

Featuring music, crafts, physical play and story time activities, the sessions will cater for children of all interests and help Baw Baw’s youngest residents, and their parents, build new bonds with their fellow community members.

“Through a continued investment in early years programs, we’re setting families, and their little ones, up for success later in life,” said Baw Baw Mayor Annemarie McCabe. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing the program make its way around the Shire, bringing families together for a bit of fun and showing them what the Council can do for them.”

The program will also allow parents to ask questions and learn more about Council’s family and children’s service programs, such as immunisation, family day care and kindergarten enrolments.

The 12-month program will begin in August, with the first two pop-up sessions set to be delivered in Warragul and Drouin, respectively.

Wednesday 9 August – 10am – 11:30am

With dates for future events soon to be announced, residents are encouraged to keep an eye on Council’s events calendar and social media accounts for the latest details.

The Pop-Up Playgroup program is suitable for children between the ages of birth to five years. 

Parents and carers are required to actively supervise their children throughout the events.
