Supported playgroups can provide engaging, educational and fun healthy eating and active play activities at the group session and also encourage carers/families to practice healthy eating and active play at home. Playgroup facilitators can access free resources to help their families to eat healthy food and participate in active play.
Supported Playgroups provide a structured and positive learning environment for parents and children (aged 0-5) who would not normally access a playgroup, to increase their skills and confidence, and to develop valuable social and family support networks. Supported Playgroups usually meet once a week for two hours and are facilitated by a trained early childhood worker. The Supported Playgroup Coordinator may also assist parents by providing parenting information and referrals to other health and community services.

The resources are also suitable for other groups where parents/carers and young children attend together.
