As the days get warmer, Summertime is the perfect opportunity for families to join Benalla Rural City Council’s Supported Playgroup — enjoying outdoor play, learning, and community connection.
Supported Playgroup is a welcoming and inclusive environment where parents, caregivers, and children come together to play, learn, and connect with their local community.
Facilitated by experienced early childhood professionals, Supported Playgroup provides safe and inclusive spaces to help support children’s early learning and development through play.
Supported Playgroup is free to attend and runs weekly during school terms at:
- Waminda Community House 19 Ballintine Street, Benalla, Tuesdays 10am – Midday.
- Benalla Girl Guides Hall 12 Lowry Place, Benalla, Thursdays 10am- Midday.
It is open to eligible families with children aged from newborn to five years.
Joining Supported Playgroup offers families the opportunity to:
- build friendships and community connections
- support children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development
- gain ideas for fun and educational play at home
- access information and referrals to local family services.
Mayor Cr Bernie Hearn said Supported Playgroup is a wonderful way for families to come together, share experiences, and support their children’s development through play.
