Enjoy story time, crafts, and workshops at libraries, plus parenting support and activities at community centres. Explore Words Grow Minds, a state-funded initiative promoting early language development. With so many resources available, there’s always something to support and enrich your family’s journey.

Playgroups can provide a wonderful opportunity to support the wellbeing and development of children in the early years. Playgroups also provide opportunities for parents and carers to meet together, build community and support each other through the journey of raising children. See Playgroup SA website for up-to-date information for groups to join.
