Connect Up supported playgroups
Bethany Community Support runs playgroups as part of our Connect Up program, a local service that supports families to help their children thrive. Find out more about Connect Up.
Connect Up supported playgroups provide a safe, welcoming space for parents, caregivers and preschool children to come together to:
- share quality time together
- socialise
- encourage children to learn through play in a group environment.
