Cultural playgroup is designed to take families on a journey exploring various nations across the world. Our partnership with Marrickville West Primary School enables us to share lived experiences bringing those countries to life.
We've 'traveled' to Germany, Bangladesh, and Poland this term. ✈️
The little kids love seeing the big kids and the big kids thrive being the helpers and experts.
