Little Stars & Who Let The Coves Out
Every Thursday and Friday, parents and guardians meet together with their wee ones at our Little Stars program. It is a safe, friendly and inclusive environment for children to learn through playing and interacting with others. A place for both parents and children to make new friends and a place where everyone is valued and treated with respect.

Music and Story Time
We aim to provide a welcoming, and relaxed time where adult and children enjoy a shared activity.
There are so many benefits to starting early with songs and rhymes. Studies have shown that children who enjoy music, singing and rhymes on a regular basis tend to learn to speak more easily, have more words to express themselves and are more confident and creative.
Held every Tuesday from 1:45-2:45 upstairs in the Shed. There is no cost, but donations are always welcome.
Who Let The Coves Out
Who let the Coves out is a male parent and Guardian toddler drop-in group that gives a chance for males to gather with their little ones and spend time with other males and their children. To get together to share and encourage each other. It also provides a safe, welcoming place for the children to grow and develop their play and social skills with other children and provides an place to develop the bonds of the parents or guardians to their child/ren.
