A Gentle Beginning to Early Learning

Playgroup at Kidhood is designed as a child’s first experience of a structured preschool learning environment outside the home. Our Playgroup programme supports children from approximately 18 months to 3 years through age-appropriate play, stories, music, movement, creative activities and guided interaction.

Children gradually become familiar with classroom routines while developing early communication, social, physical and cognitive skills. Our educators provide a warm and supportive environment that encourages children to participate, explore and become increasingly independent at their own pace.
