People who are fans of playgroup include some notable national and international identities
Steve Biddulph, Child Psychologist and Author of best-selling books Raising Boys, Manhood and The Secret of Happy Children www.stevebiddulph.com
"Playing is how young children learn. Playing with each other and caring adults is the best, fastest and most lasting way to grow kind, smart and loving human beings. Nothing provides this as well as playgroups, where mums, or dads, and children socialize and play in new and stimulating ways."
As a young Dad I loved going with my kids to playgroup, as a psychologist I recommend them, and I think they are the greatest grassroots movement in Australia today for promoting human wellbeing and community.”
Dr John Irvine, Consultant Child and Family psychologist www.drjohnirvine.com
“Play is the spice of life. It adds skills building, it adds problem solving, it adds imagination, it adds communication and concept development and it adds ego development. What more could you want. Belong to a playgroup and I believe you’re doing the very best thing for your child in these growing years.”
David Butts, The Hooley Dooleys www.hooleydooleys.com
The Hooley Dooleys have had a long and successful relationship with Playgroup. They are an outstanding organization, supporting both parents and children.
When I think of Playgroup the qualities that come to mind are the passion they have for the welfare of chidlren and family, the sense of fun they enjoy together and an Australian "down to earth" quality that resonates with us all!
Uniformly across the country the are committed, enthusiastic and always focussed on the goal of good outcomes for the families in their network.
We applaud their role in the community and the country
Hooray for Playgroup! from the Hooley Dooleys.
