What it actually looks like
Our note
Every child needs their own adult here, so it suits a parent and tot morning rather than a staffed group outing. The site says $10 a drop in session but not whether that covers the child, the adult or the pair, so check before you turn up with several families.
What the children do
A one hour drop in play group for children aged 0 to 5 with a guardian, run by the centre's educator. Each session has a guided group activity and a craft, and there is coffee and tea for the adults. It runs Tuesdays 10:30 to 11:30 from 6 October to 15 December 2026. It costs $10 a drop in session, paid by card, Interac or cash at the centre. The site asks you to register in advance by email if you can.
Settle into the centre with a grown up, join a group activity led by the educator, and make a craft to take away.
Good to know
It runs inside the centre on a Tuesday morning, which is a day it is otherwise closed to the public. Toilets and a place to eat are not mentioned on the site.
