Families can find connection\, confidence and support. These stories show the lasting benefits of joining a supported playgroup. Together\, these stories show the lasting impact of being part of a supported playgroup. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFamilies currently attending Plumtree playgroups share what joining in means for them and their little ones—friendship\, community\, and a place where children can thrive. \n\n\n\n\n\nColin\, co-author of Milly’s Mind\, looks back on how a supportive playgroup helped his family become stronger and more empowered. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlumtree is a not-for-profit\, community-based organisation that helps families thrive. Trusted for 40 years\, we work alongside children and families in the early years to build confidence\, capability and inclusion. Plumtree provides therapy and specialist support for children from birth to 8 years in everyday settings — at home\, in the community\, online or at our Marrickville centre. \n\n\n\nWe also offer free playgroups\, workshops and programs for all families\, along with an inclusive preschool where children of all abilities learn together. \n\n\n\nOur work is co-designed with families\, including programs like Now & Next and Pictability\, and we partner with organisations and government to build more inclusive communities.
