Plunkett Street Playgroup

The Plunkett Street Community Project is an outreach project that connects Lou's Place to mothers, carers and children in need of support in the local Woolloomooloo area. The area is home to families from diverse backgrounds, some of whom face complex social and economic issues.

The weekly playgroup is a safe space for children under five to socialise, have fun and enjoy delicious and nutritious food while becoming familiar with the school environment. It facilitates their smooth transition to the preschool, promotes increased enrolment numbers and improved attendance rates.

The playgroup also offers respite, social interaction and practical support to mothers and carers.

Thursday morning from 9.30 - 11.30am during school term.
