Playtime is a morning of games, story-time, music and play for children 0-5 years in a well-equipped indoor and outdoor area.  It is also a great time for mothers and carers.  It is run on Wednesdays from 10am to 12 noon during State school terms.

Some mums' comments:

"It is a great way to meet and spend time with other families in the local area".

"Our children have a chance to develop their social skills and to meet new friends".

They have access to a wide range of quality toys (suitable for very young ones through to our busy preschoolers), outdoor equipment and craft supplies.

While our kids play, we can relax for a little while and enjoy the supportive company of other mothers and carers.

Each Week...

A typical morning is loosely divided into: outdoor play, morning tea, craft, indoor play and "group time", which includes activities like games, dancing, music and singing.

Morning Tea and Coffee is provided for the adults and drinks are provided for the children. The children are given cheese, biscuits and fruit.

Playtime is held in the Kindergarten Hall behind the church building, which fronts onto 9B Arnold Street, Killara. Parking is easiest on Springdale Road, then enter via No. 12.

Come along and join the fun!

What to bring? 

There is a contribution each time (per family), either weekly or per school term, that goes towards the provision of more toys and equipment.

Casseroles for Mums Ministry:  Parishioners provide home-delivered meals to support Playtime mums who have just given birth.  We aim to offer meals (2 meals x 3 weeks) to help in those early weeks and as a gift from the parish to indicate our care and love for families.  If you can help, contact the Playtime team - Vicki Blackwell, Paddy Lloyd and Jill Auld - through the office office@stmartinskillara.org
