In the GISS playgroup community we want to be part of your children's path as they develop a sense of belonging and finding themselves. It is an opportunity to share the joy and wonder of childhood and we support them to realise their potential in who they are becoming. (Early Years Learning Framework)
We start each meeting with singing German songs and then move along into free play or craft, finishing off with a parachute and a swinging game.
As parents we are role models and guide our children to develop a sense of agency by believing in their ability and letting children make certain choices to control their own lives.
The pedagogical and language concept of Playgroup is closely linked to that of Preschool. This makes the transition to Preschool significantly easier. Playgroup children also receive preference on the Preschool waiting list.
Playgroup currently meets every Thursday during term time from 9.30 to 11.00 am in the multifunction room. Parents are strongly encouraged to sign up per term and we invite new parents to join us for a free 1st session.
