These groups aim to reduce social isolation and loneliness for families with young children (primarily 0-3 year olds) and to support the babies and young children to meet milestones and become school ready. We have a large variety of toys and resources to keep the little ones stimulated and support their holistic development. We offer them a healthy snack and a weekly shared meal for all families together with staff and volunteers included too.
