Over the past few weeks, we have been running a Burmese Playgroup pilot at The Parents Hub in collaboration with Sarina Russo Parent Pathways and honestly… the impact has already been so incredibly meaningful. 💛
We are so happy to announce that thanks to Uniting, these can now continue!
What started as a small pilot program has quickly shown us just how important culturally safe, welcoming and community-led spaces are for families navigating the early years while also adjusting to life in a new country.
We’ve watched:
✨ children connect beautifully through play
✨ parents build confidence and friendships
✨ families begin to feel more comfortable within the space
✨ conversations and laughter grow each week
✨ parents express how valuable this connection has been
Many of the families attending experience social isolation, language barriers and challenges accessing supports and services — which can make everyday parenting feel even heavier.
And that’s why spaces like this matter so much.
Not just for the children…
But for the parents too.
Because every family deserves to feel welcomed, included and connected within their community.
We are incredibly proud of this pilot program and so grateful to everyone helping make it possible. A huge thank you to Uniting and Sarina Russo Parent Pathways for making this happen.
It's only the beginning. 💛
