Big Kids:
This is an extended session specifically for our children over three with an emphasis on learning co-operatively alongside other children, developing self-management and problem solving skills, and taking part in increasingly challenging activities - all in a fun, play based child-initiated context. As a Playcentre parent you will benefit from a community experience, taking an active role in your children's early years and building friendships that will last a lifetime.
