Playcentre Education at your Playgroup
Did you know that if you are at a Playcentre Playgroup you can enrol in the Playcentre Education programme? That’s right, it might be that your Playgroup’s long-term plan is to return to a licensed early childhood centre; or as a parent you want to engage in education for your own learning or to better support your child’s learning and development. Whatever your reason you can still enrol in Playcentre Education.
If you have any queries about this please contact Louise Albert, Education Lead [email protected]
