SUMMARY:Music Together | Playgroup
DESCRIPTION:Create wonderful opportunities for communication and interaction through fun musical activities. \n\n\n\nChildren have opportunities to practise social skills such as turn-taking and sharing through group play and a familiar weekly routine. While the activities support communication\, social interaction and learning\, our priority is that everyone enjoys their time in the group. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMusic Together offers a relaxed environment where children and adults enjoy singing\, playing percussion instruments\, dancing and storytelling together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvery child settles into a new group differently. Some children join in straight away\, while others prefer to watch\, stay close to a parent or take a little longer to feel comfortable. That’s completely okay. We encourage families to keep attending and give children time to become familiar with the people\, songs and routine. Children are welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for them. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParents and carers are encouraged to join in alongside their child during each session. Your participation helps your child feel comfortable and ready to explore the activities. \n\n\n\n\n\nBenefits of Music Together: \n\n\n\n\nOpportunities to connect with other families and share ideas and information about play and early childhood learning.\n\n\n\nMusical play gives children opportunities to communicate both verbally and non-verbally while exploring instruments\, dancing and singing.\n\n\n\nChildren experience following simple instructions in a relaxed\, play-based setting.\n\n\n\nThe sessions follow a familiar routine each week\, helping children build confidence and know what to expect.\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\nWho can attend?Music Together is a program for children aged 3 to 5 years\, including children with disability\, developmental delay\, neurodivergence\, or families who would like some extra support for their child.We also warmly welcome all children in this age group and are committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can join in and feel comfortable.Parents\, grandparents and siblings are encouraged to participate too. We celebrate diversity and welcome families from all backgrounds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhenWeekly sessions\, 45 minutes each.Wednesdays\, 21 October to 9 December 2026\, All sessions 10am to 10.45am. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWherePlumtree Children’s ServicesYabsley Avenue\, Jarvie Park\, Marrickville\, NSW\, 2204How to find us \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCostFree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlyerView | Download | Share \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\nFacilitatorsAmanda\, Plumtree’s Music Educator and Daniel\, Early Childhood Teacher and Behavioural Analyst. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently asked question \n\n\n\n			\n								\n							\n						\n								\n							\n			Do I need to register?Yes.

SUMMARY:Let’s talk about… Building relationships for a thriving family | for dads and male carers
DESCRIPTION:Let’s explore how to foster positive family outcomes through relationship health. \n\n\n\nOne of the most important is the relationship with the people we share family life with\, whether that’s a partner\, co-parent or other important people in our family. Like anything important\, it can need a little time and attention to stay strong. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith the busyness of daily life\, it’s easy for connection to slip into the background. This session offers a chance to pause\, reflect and reconnect with what matters most to you and your family relationships. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhen parents feel supported and connected\, it can have a positive flow-on for the whole family. Communication plays a big part in this\, along with understanding what helps you feel close\, heard and on the same page. \n\n\n\nThis workshop offers practical ideas and a positive space to reflect\, refresh and strengthen your connection as you move towards your shared hopes for your family. \n\n\n\n\n\nCome along to discuss and explore: \n\n\n\n\nSimple ways to reflect on what’s important to you\n\n\n\nHow to build a shared vision for your relationship and family\n\n\n\nThe Relationship T.H.R.I.L.L.S. framework\n\n\n\n\nYou’re welcome to join in as much or as little as feels right for you.

They are facilitated by trained parent-peer workers raising a child with developmental delay or disability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho can attend?Fathers and other male primary carers of children aged 0-12 years \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhenThursday 19 November 20268 pm to 9.30 pm (NSW\, ACT\, VIC and TAS) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhereOnline via Zoom.
