What is Koala Joeys Playgroup?

Koala Joeys Playgroup is for children aged 0 – 5 years. We deliver facilitated playgroup sessions each week, designed with parent and child interactions as the key focus. We provide a range of organised activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework for babies, toddlers and pre-prep aged children.

​Becoming independent and active learners

We use, and promote, the 3a Abecedarian Strategies when engaging with children to promote language development, and to build and maintain quality adult interactions with children.  

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.
