If you are looking for that 'something more' in a playgroup, where children are cared for and nurtured, where the children are the true focus, where you can learn new skills and be inspired to create, where you can meet like-minded eco-friendly people, this is it!

Moondew Playgroup is a Steiner-inspired playgroup, run in the hinterland of the Gold Coast.

The group runs on a Tuesday morning and a Friday morning, from 9.30-11.30am. It is aimed at 1-4 year olds, although older siblings are welcome.

Playgroup Rhythm:
9.30 Outside play and Greeting
10.00 Storytime and handwash
10.20 Morning tea
10.40 Bread making, Inside Play
11.10 Pack away, Circle Time
11.20 Outside play, Delicious bread!
Sometime after 11.30 Farewell

The daily rhythm helps to support young children to find their way in a safe and predictable environment. One of the big bonuses for attending Moondew will be the beautiful and secure environment that surrounds the young children. This helps children to relax into play and inspires their imagination and creativity.

Morning tea will be a selection of fruit and a 'special dish' that I will have the pleasure of preparing for you all. Moondew is an inclusive playgroup and every effort will be made to ensure families can participate in the meals.

Mealtimes are a special time- to share in our community, to eat nourishing food, to learn manners and to be open and flexible to the cultures that surround us. We will sing a blessing to say thank you for the food we will eat. Young children are enchanted by the voices of their friends and family and often demand we 'sing again'!!

Free play is a time for the young children to use the open ended toys, such as blocks, dolls, shells, and fences, to begin to share their ideas with the world. Young children are very sensitive to the world around them so Moondew offers quality toys that are often handmade and delightful. Parents love these toys as much, or more!, than the children.

Every week, parents will be enticed into making 'something'. I don't want to give too much away just yet! I can say though, that this will be most therapeutic and nourishing for the child within us!

At Moondew, each child is recognised as an individual, with their own cup and bowl, own hand-embroidered handtowel and more! We will share a simple, gorgeous birthday celebration for every child to acknowledge their journey on earth.

Moondew follows the seasonal shifts and the program offers activities that support these worldly changes. At the end of each term, we will share a seasonal festival. This will be run on a weekend afternoon/evening so that all family members can attend and join our little community of friends.

Once a term, Amber will host an evening of very informal Parent Education for those who are interested. Family and friends are more than welcome to come along. This will be a child-free event.

The term fee will begin from Term 4 and will cost $120 for one child or $150 for two or more children per family.  This is payable at the commencement of every term.  Unfortunately, there are no make up days on offer, however I strive to provide 'added value' through the other events which occur outside of normal playgroup times.

 Amber also runs the Mama Moontime Creativity and Craft club  (now called "CREATE, and love life")  for those who want to fan their creative flame some more!! This is an 8 week program designed to support women in finding, and firing up, their own creative flames!  Go ahead, reclaim your birthright!!
