Supported Playgroups

;

smalltalk supported playgroups are a free program for families across Victoria with children from birth to school age.

A qualified facilitator leads these fun 10 sessions where parents develop their skills and confidence to support their child’s wellbeing and development. 

It starts with smalltalk.

Some simple practical strategies that help your child feel safe and nurtured; that helps their language, communication, and social skills develop; and that really get them interested in the world around them.

There's even an opportunity to learn and practise these strategies in your own home, with one-on-one support.

At supported playgroups, parents and children enjoy a range of fun play opportunities and activities together. Parents also find out about local services and support networks in the community.

smalltalk supported playgroups are state funded.

Priority will be given to:

• Families with children aged 0-5 years who hold a Health Care Card or another eligible card/visa
• Families supported through NDIS
• Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children and families
• Families that have been referred or supported by Enhanced Maternal and Child Health Services
• Families that have been referred or supported by Orange Door
• Each term 10 Small Talk Groups are provided across the Mornington Peninsula. Register your interest below and a Small Talk facilitator will give you a call with further information including session locations and times.
