Happy Children’s Week! 🎉

This year’s national theme is based on Article 30 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture and practise their religion. 🌏💛

Play is one of the ways children explore who they are, share stories and connect with the people in their community.

We're excited to be open this week and hope you have time to pop in and say hello, enjoy a cuppa and a play to celebrate Children's Week with us.

Our next Stay & Play session is this Saturday 31st October from 9.30 to 11.30. These sessions are kindly supported by Communities for Children Katherine Region

No need to be a member, feel welcome to drop in and play this Saturday! ✨
