Babies Building Blocks coming to Spring Creek Playcentre The popular Babies Building Blocks Program held previously at other Marlborough Playcentres, will be held at Spring Creek Playcentre from February 2018. Every Wednesday, the ten week course, for six-12month old babies and their parents/caregivers, will allow adults and children to get together each week, sharing ideas, and playing and learning alongside each other.
The course will offer a chance to experience what Playcentre is like, course facilitator Poz Poswillo says. “Playcentre is run by families for families. Parents learn from each other in a supportive environment. The Babies Building Blocks course is for all parents, whether younger, older, ‘first timers’ or those with older siblings. “People enjoy exploring different types of play with their babies and
find it helpful to ask questions. Both babies and adults also make friends along the way. “We always welcome people who want to find out more,” she says. One parent who attended the course says topics covered were ‘relevant to my baby’s developmental stages’. “I felt like I learned valuable and useful parenting skills. The supportive and caring environment
was fantastic. “My daughter loved the sandpit, swings and the heuristic play. Most of all she loved watching the other children. She gained confidence and made friends” a parent commented about her child at the conclusion of the course.” Babies Building Blocks course runs weekly from Wednesday February 7 to April 11 from 9.30am –11.45am.
The 10 week course costs $20 and has limited spaces. Spring Creek Playcentre is located next to Spring Creek School. Registration for this popular program is essential to avoid disappointment. Contact emilywatson2002@ yahoo.com PBA
