Play Steps

OVERVIEW

Play Steps is an early years play-based program. Founded on the strengths-based playgroup model where parents stay, play and learn with their child, Play Steps sessions are places for children and their families to practice skills in a nurturing, safe space.

The facilitated program is delivered within a school and provides opportunities for play-based learning for children aged birth to five and their families to:

• promote learning through play
• strengthen parental self-efficacy
• contribute to the development of stronger more cohesive school communities.

Play Steps supports schools by creating environments for parents and children to play and learn together while becoming familiar with the school environment. The sessions encourage families to become an active member of their school community where possible.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Families with children aged 0-5 that already have children enrolled at the school and families from the greater community.
