FREE SESSIONS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS WITH THEIR CHILDREN, AGED 0-3 YEARS

learning together, through play

What is Peep?

Peep sessions offer a fun and engaging way for parents and carers to support their child’s early development, learn new skills and connect with other families in their community. Each session is designed to enhance children's communication and language skills, promote healthy play, physical activity and support children's social and emotional development while having lots of fun together.

Parents and carers are encouraged to take an active role in all these activities, learning new skills and knowledge about how to support their child’s development while having fun together. Parents also have the opportunity to share experiences, advice and parenting tips in a supportive environment.
