Bright Sparks Playgroup
Join us for a fun, friendly, relaxed morning every Wednesday during the school term, from 9:00-11:00am at Mt Gravatt Seventh-day Adventist Church, for children aged 0-5 years.
About Bright Sparks Playgroup
Bright Sparks is run on every Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00-11:00am during term time by one of BAC's qualified teachers, supported by volunteers from the Mt Gravatt Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Our playgroup is a great opportunity to meet new people, make friends, play and learn, and become part of a community.
Bright Sparks offers a mix of organised activities and free play, including:
- playdough, small toys such as blocks and cars, and sensory tables to which contribute to the development of motor skills.
- songs with movement, instruments and actions.
- a story and themed craft activity.
- morning tea (fruit and crackers will be provided at 10:30am, and hot drinks and biscuits will be available throughout for parents and caregivers).
- a shared pack-up, which encourages responsibility and independence.
While we will have a teacher and volunteers on hand, the supervision, behaviour management and duty of care for each child remains with the attending parent or caregiver.
Age range: Our activities are designed for children who can sit or crawl, up to about 5 years old. For children who are not yet sitting or crawling, a baby mat will be available, but no specific activities are planned for them.
