just want to let people know of a Supported playgroup, Young Producers, that is run on a Monday morning 10am-12pm for young mums (under 25) at Windsor in Brisbane. It is run through playgroup Qld with the help of the Young Parents Program. Anyone who joins gets free membership for a year through playgroup association . If anyone is interested please let me know and I'm happy to give more details
That would be quite a way to travel
We've been lucky getting support through playgroup Qld and the Young Parents Program to start this group up. I'm sure there must be similar organisations in Victoria, it's just knowing where to start which is the hard part! To start up a regular playgroup I know you need at least 3 families, I'm not exactly sure the first steps that have to be taken to start up a supported playgroup as I was luckily offered the job. There may even be some supported playgroups in your area. It's worth a look Even if you rang Playgroup Victoria and asked whats on in your area and if there are any groups specifically for younger mums, I know it can be hard to go to playgroups when everyone is at least 10 years older then you!
Anyway good luck finding a place, its so important to get out and meet people, if only for your own sanity! LOL, oh and ofcourse for the kids
HI Natasha,
What is this all about? I would be interested as I moved here from Darwin in Jan and don't have any friends here. I am a SAHM. I'm 24. Please write back and let me know what it is all about??
Hi Nina,
the Young Producers is a supported playgroup that meets up every Monday morning at 25 Hooker St Windsor 10am-12pm. It's specifically for young mums up to 25 so you more then welcome to come along and check it out, I'm 24 also We ask the mums to bring a plate to share for morning tea.
There are indoor and outdoor spaces for kids to play, we have a mix of ages from baby up to preschool age. It's very casual and I'm always open to any new ideas mums may have to make the playgroup what they would like.
If there is anything else specific you'd like to know feel free to ask. Hope you can come along
