Play Steps playgroups such as Koala Joeys, are places for children and their families to practise learning skills in a nurturing, safe space within a school environment. Activities within the Play Steps program are designed to help children develop these skills and become independent and active learners. Koala Joeys incorporates the following pathways into every day play.
