Lighthouse Playgroup
About our playgroup
Our playgroup sessions are structured to nurture the creativity in children. We focus ‘learning through play’ by encouraging kids to participate in activities like music & movement, art & craft, story-telling and expose them to different cultures.
We have a fenced outdoor playground and an indoor carpeted play area equipped with a variety of toys to encourage social interaction, motor skill development and safety awareness.
We encourage parents/caregivers accompanying the child/children to actively participate in the activities, build a closer relationship with each other and have fun.
Refreshments are provided for families; this is a great time for parents/ caregivers to “Chat over a cuppa” and develop a sense of belonging to the community.
• To offer a safe and fun environment for children to play and learn.
• To help the children develop good social skills and friendship.
• To promote a sense of unity, support and friendship for parents.
• To provide opportunities for parents and children to build closer relationships and have fun together.
