Abstract

playgroups

early childhood

parenting

families

Supported playgroups are implemented by a range of not-for-profit organisations, community services and government agencies as part of their suite of inclusive early childhood services. They are a unique early learning and development opportunity, bringing together children, parents/carers and community. Shared play is used as the foundation to support children’s learning and development, strengthen parenting capacity and build strong family and community relationships. This practice guide for facilitators and companion resources are grounded in evidence from years of combined experience and a formal review of the supported playgroup model in Queensland. These resources aim to support families, communities, facilitators, and organisations by: • encouraging good practice and achievement of outcomes through a consistent, evidence informed approach • building the capacity of facilitators and organisations to purposefully achieve child learning and development and parenting outcomes • supporting engagement with families in diverse contexts and communities.
