2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taabinga Tots celebrated National Playgroup Week with a special free Playgroup Party on Monday at Taabinga State School.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and carers brought along their children for the fun morning of play.<\/p>\n<p>Taabinga State School&#8217;s Sue Murphy said the Taabinga Tots playgroup began in 2018 and is proud that it was the first to be run within schoolgrounds in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It came about because of a need for early years development in the South Burnett,&#8221; Sue said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anywhere between six to 20 children come along every Monday morning between 9:00am and 10:30am.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no need to book,&#8221; Sue said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Playgroups benefit children, families and the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While it is true that children can play anywhere, playgroups have the added benefit of providing opportunities for playing with other children and practising important social skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sue said parents and carers from across the South Burnett were welcome to bring along any child aged from 0 to 5 years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_358666\"
