At Sunday Arvo Together, we're creating a space where people of all ages can gather around a table, share activities & a meal, build friendships, worship God, and discover more about faith in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

No pressure. No expectations. Just come as you are.

🎨 Messy play is worth it 🎨

The mess can be cleaned.

The learning is what lasts.

Messy play supports sensory development, creativity, confidence, fine motor skills and problem-solving — all through hands-on exploration.

So yes… the paint, the water, the sand and the goo can be a lot 😅

But the learning happening in those moments is incredible.

✨ What makes playgroup so special? ✨

It’s not just the activities.

It’s not just the toys.

It’s not just the craft.

It’s the friendships formed.

The confidence built.
The conversations shared.

The village created.

Playgroup is a place where children can explore, learn and grow — and where parents can feel supported, seen and connected too.

That’s the magic of community. 🌈

🌿 A little reminder for parents… 🌿

You do not need to fill every moment of your child’s day to support their development.

Simple moments matter most — reading together, singing songs, digging in the garden, chatting over lunch, splashing in puddles, or sitting beside them while they play.

Connection is powerful.

Presence is enough.

And those small everyday moments are where the magic really happens.

💛 Did you know? 💛

Play is so much more than just fun — it’s how children learn best.

Through play, children build confidence, communication skills, creativity, problem-solving abilities and emotional regulation… all while having fun! 🌈

At Balga Child & Family Centre, every playgroup session is designed to support learning through play in a warm, welcoming and connected environment.

Because when children play, they learn. And when families connect, communities grow. 🌿

There’s something really special about sharing a meal around the table 💛

Join us for Meal & Message Church each Thursday from 5:15pm–6:30pm for a free meal, warm conversation, and a welcoming space to connect.

Whether you come for the food, the company, or a moment to pause in your week — you’re invited.

Open to all.
No cost, just community.
