smalltalk playgroups

smalltalk playgroups are an inviting place for you and your child aged 0-5 years to have fun, learn and play.  The program provides families with strategies to enhance their child's learning and development.  The facilitator can also provide information about other services and work alongside families accessing and communicating with these services.

Who can attend a Smalltalk Playgroup?

  • families with a Commonwealth Health Care Card (or visa equivalent for refugees and migrants)
  • families with a family member who has identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
  • families who are looking after children in kinship care (out of home care)
  • families referred by Orange Door
  • families referred from or receiving enhanced Maternal and Child Health Services

Some families are also eligible for Individual Family Support which involves the facilitator visiting a family in their own home.  Families participating in Individual Family Support may also attend a smalltalk Playgroup.  During these home-based sessions, families see practical examples of the smalltalk strategies and can practice ideas with a facilitator.
