Please check in with our Community Connector at the front desk before entering the EarlyON Room to sign in :)
To avoid stressful/unhealthy transitions for children, we are kindly asking famlies to show up no later than 15 minutes before the end of a Drop In EarlyON Playgroup. Ensuring that we support healthy transitions in and out of play for our children 0-6 and their parents/caregivers. Please stop by the EarlyON Centre for a quick to-go snack in the final 15 minutes of a Playgroup!
