The Hinchinbrook Shire Library warmly invites parents and caregivers to join Playtime, a vibrant, enriching and educational session designed especially for children aged 0 to 5 years old. Held each and every first, second and fourth Thursday of the month at 10:30am at the TYTO Conference and Events Centre, this thirty-minute program combines stories, songs, and rhymes for a morning filled with fun and learning.
Playtime is more than just entertainment – it provides parents and carers with the perfect opportunity to foster language and literacy development among young children during their critical early years. As part of the First 5 Forever initiative, a State Government and State Library of Queensland program, these sessions empower parents and caregivers with the tools and support needed to help their little ones build essential communication and literacy skills.
Each session offers interactive activities to engage children while strengthening the bond between parent and child. From singing familiar rhymes to exploring captivating stories, Playtime creates an environment where learning feels like play.
Parents and caregivers will also have access to valuable resources and advice with a Queensland Health Clinical Nurse readily available at the conclusion of each session to answer questions, address concerns, and provide guidance on children’s health and development. Baby scales and educational materials are also provided to ensure every family feels supported.
Whether you’re a first-time parent or a seasoned caregiver, Playtime offers a welcoming space for families to connect, learn, grow together, and spend time with the littlest members of the family.
Mark your calendars and pop down to the Hinchinbrook Shire Library for a joyful morning of stories, songs, and play. All details and additional information can be found on the Hinchinbrook Shire Library’s website.
