Last week Playgroup SA also celebrated Neurodiversity Celebration Week across our playgroups!
Families enjoyed a range of inclusive, affirming play experiences designed to support every child to learn, connect and thrive. From sensory activities to creative play, there were plenty of opportunities for children to explore in ways that feel right for them, with some activities also available to take home and continue the fun.
The best part? These kinds of supportive, inclusive play experiences aren’t just for special occasions. Many of these activities are part of our playgroups every single week, creating welcoming spaces where all children and families feel seen, valued and celebrated.
A big thank you to Fion, Whyalla PALS and PlayConnect+ for sending photos! 💛

Brazilian families in Adelaide have created a wonderful space to connect, share culture and build community at Brazilian Playgroup.
Meeting every Wednesday at the Mitchell Park Community Centre, the playgroup offers a welcoming environment where children can play, explore and make new friends while parents and carers connect with other Brazilian families.
Each session finishes with Brazilian songs and story time in Portuguese, helping little ones stay connected to their language and culture while growing up in South Australia.
Playgroups like this are a beautiful reminder of how community, culture and play come together to support families and help children thrive. 💛
