About Playgroup

Our Playgroup offers a warm, predictable rhythm that helps young children feel safe and supported. Through simple, everyday activities like baking and drawing, children engage in meaningful play that encourages natural learning.

Transitions are guided by songs, rhymes, and gentle actions, creating a smooth and reassuring flow to each session. We balance quiet, focused moments (“breathing in”) with active, expressive play (“breathing out”) to support healthy development.

Outdoor play is a key part of our day, with a secure garden space where children can explore and connect with nature. Storytelling is done slowly and simply—spoken, not read—inviting children to imagine and create their own inner pictures.

Rhythm of a Playgroup Session:
