Playgroup Enrolments

Families of young children can enrol in our Playgroup and attend one morning per week with a caregiver.
  • The Playgroup enrolment form is the first step to enrolling your child.
  • Applicants will be added to a waitlist and contacted by the Playgroup Coordinator when a place becomes available.
  • Families intending to enrol in Shearwater’s Preschool are advised to submit applications early as places are not guaranteed for Playgroup families.
