A learn & play group at Canberra Girls Grammar School.
Introducing Little Cygnets, a focused playgroup for children aged 1 to 3 years in the local area, designed to foster a love of learning through fun, accessible and purposeful play.
This FREE playgroup is designed by the School’s early learning specialists and offers young families a unique insight into the inquiry-based teaching and learning method for which CGGS is renowned. Little Cygnets playgroup includes activities that introduce literacy, numeracy and inquiry to little learners, while maintaining a fun and inclusive space where they can create and explore.
“Often when I speak with families they are seeking an environment for their child that is appropriate for their developing minds—they feel that traditional playgroups and day-cares don’t inspire a sense of creativity, imagination or problem-solving,” Peter McDonald, Deputy Principal, Head of Junior School and ELC.
Held in the contemporary Kamberri space of the Early Learning Centre (ELC), Little Cygnets will host arts and crafts, reading, writing, drawing, exploration, play, music and language-based activities—to name a few.
Little Cygnets is more than a playgroup—our aim is to support you and your child’s journey into education by introducing them to essential teaching and learning methods that will stay with them for life. The authenticity of the playgroup ensures both children and parents will find a sociable, welcoming space while they learn how to learn.
Everyone in our local community is welcome to join Little Cygnets—and it’s free! Our mission is to ensure new families have access to an environment that equips them with the academic learning, emotional intelligence and creative skills to fulfil their potential, while engaging in a fun experience that both child and parent will cherish for the rest of their lives.
