What to Expect
This engaging program invites families to come together at the local library for storytime, fun games, and interactive activities designed to delight your children. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with other parents and carers in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
You’ll also meet the City of Whittlesea Early Years team who will share valuable information about local services, programs, and events tailored for families in your neighbourhood. Maternal child and health nurses will join the session to discuss important topics such as toilet training.
