Term Group - Play Together

The PLAY TOGETHER 2023 program has been developed with 3-5 year old, pre-school children in mind. The focus will be on communication, social and play skills in a play-based group setting. The aim will be to get children familiar with a small group setting and sharing resources with other children of a similar age and developmental level. There will be a routine each week including a short mat time and a snack. Fine/gross motor activities will be provided each week as well as toys to encourage cooperative play and shared engagement. 

The specific goals of the group are: 

·  To upskill parents on how best to support their child to remain regulated and communicate their needs during the session. A short survey will be provided at the end of term 2 to provide feedback on these goals. 

·  For children to remain in the same play space as another child and share resources for 5-10 minutes at a time. This goal will be assessed via observations/discussions with parents.
