playgroup activities kids playgroup The Little School Room Playgroup (LSR), in Brighton Victoria, was est. in 1985 and is one of the largest playgroups in Melbourne. LSR provides a fun, vibrant and safe meeting place for pre-school aged children and their parents & carers. It offers a place to regularly meet and develop wonderful friendships. Children learn through play and it is vital for their wellbeing and development. At LSR Playgroup, children have the opportunity to get together to expand their motor skills, communication and social skills. LSR has a fantastic range of toys, art supplies, indoor and outdoor play equipment. We are constantly updating and revitalising our facilities. The outdoor playground has a cubby house with bridge and sandpit, as well as a shed full of outdoor toys and climbing equipment. Inside we have a huge library of books with bean bags, baby toys, train table, games, dress up, jigsaws, home corner, etc. In addition to our regular sessions, LSR offers a special Saturday morning session dedicated to Dads and their babies, toddlers and preschoolers. It is an affordable option for entertaining little ones and a great opportunity to meet and share a cuppa with other dads. The Little School Room also offers a dedicated playgroup (PlayConnect) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). For more information on this session click here.

LSR runs 15 sessions per week and each playgroup is allocated a 2 hour time slot. You have total freedom regarding the way you run your session. You may be as informal or as structured as you please. Some playgroups, especially those with babies, enjoy the facilities as a chance to catch up over coffee with other parents/carers where they are able to share their experiences.

Toddlers playgroups usually enjoy the opportunity to play with friends, engage in the messy craft playgroup activities that are prepared by our Art/Craft Coordinator fortnightly or to utilise the abundance of art and craft provisions.

Tea and coffee, etc. are provided. All you will need to bring is milk. Most groups find it handy to have a roster for things like bringing the morning tea and opening/closing up LSR.
