The sessions are an opportunity for families to develop skills to support their child’s learning and development through fun activities they can enjoy together.
Each week will have a different theme, starting with “On the Farm” for week one, where they will explore all things farm-related.
They will have farm animals to explore on the play trays, farm puzzles, farm crafts, farm songs and will finish with a story called “On the Farm” by Axel Scheffler.
