Every playgroup is a unique, so feel free to trial more than one to find the right fit for your family.
Once you’ve found a playgroup and are ready to join, you’ll also need to become a Playgroup WA member to be covered by insurance and access all the great member benefits.
A playgroup is a group of parents, caregivers and extended family who come together with their babies and young children to learn through play. It's a fun and relaxed environment where children can socialise and explore, while adults can also connect, share experiences and support one another.
Playgroups meet in a variety of local venues such as community centres, schools and libraries, bringing families together right in their neighbourhood.
Each playgroup is independently run by volunteers, so every group is a little different and there's something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a general community group, a baby playgroup, a playgroup for children with a developmental delay or disability, or a group that shares your cultural background or language, there's likely a local playgroup near you in WA. For more information on the types of playgroups available, visit our types of playgroups in Western Australia page.
At Playgroup WA, we support, connect and advocate for playgroups across the state, helping families find the right fit and giving groups the tools and resources to run smoothly.
For a small weekly fee (usually under $5) to your group, plus an annual Playgroup WA membership ($35 or $15 concession), your family gets access to a vetted, insured playgroup, a library of play ideas, events, and discounts, and the backing of an organisation that's been supporting WA families since 1972.
Early play experiences support children's development, and being part of a local community can make a real difference for parents and caregivers too. With hundreds of playgroups across metropolitan Perth and regional WA, there's very likely one near you.
