Busy Bees Play Group Mango Hill

22/12/2025

Last week we wrapped up the year with the most magical Christmas morning at playgroup.

A huge thank you to Mango Hill Progress Association for arranging a special visit from Santa — the children were absolutely delighted!

We spent the morning creating festive crafts, singing and dancing to Christmas music, enjoying storytime together, and of course… capturing those treasured Christmas photos with Santa. Every child went home with a little gift and a big smile.

Thank you to all our families for bringing the joy, the laughter, and the community spirit that makes our playgroup so special.
I'd also like to say farewell to all of our playgroup families, thanks for the great memories. I hope that playgroup can continue into 2026. If you would like to join the facilitator team please apply here:

❣️Day for Daniel – Sharing Safety from the Start

Day for Daniel is this Friday, 31st of October. Let's spread awareness by wearing red and talking to others about early protective behaviours. Even for our littlest ones, it's never too early to start building safe and supportive environments.

❣️Day for Daniel and Keeping Kids Safe🦸‍♂️

❣️Day for Daniel is a National Day of Action to raise awareness of child safety and protection on 31 October by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation

❣️Day for Daniel is a powerful reminder to have open, age-appropriate conversations with children about personal safety, trust, and knowing when to speak up.

❣️Whether you're a parent, educator, or community member, you can help create safe environments where children thrive.

❣️Visit the Day for Daniel website to explore practical tools and resources for Keeping Kids Safe and find a Day for Daniel Walk to be part of: 🔗 https://hubs.li/Q03P-B6x0
