BURNIE

Little Footprints Burnie began in March 2019 as a meeting place for parents and a rich learning environment for children 0-5 years. Parents make new friends and children play. Everyone’s happy.

Playgroup is starting again Term 4: Tuesday 15th of October.

As an incorporated association under Playgroups Tasmania, Little Footprints is run as a not-for-profit organisation for the benefit of the Burnie community.

Little Footprints Burnie focuses its imaginative play-based program around a different theme each term. Imaginary play encourages children to explore new ideas, learn from their surrounds and engage socially with other children. This social engagement helps to develop skills like discipline, problem solving and empathy.

Your child learns best when he or she is playing, exploring, creating and imagining. Experience is the best teacher. Playgroup allows children to use negotiation skills, including taking turns and sharing. It also provides opportunities for expressing their feelings and experimenting with solutions.

Language skills are developed during imaginative play. Children practice listening, comprehending and talking. What may seem like a humble playgroup is actually a rich learning environment for young children. We look forward to welcoming you next Tuesday.
