Playgroup

Francophone parents of different nationalities meet every week to give their children the opportunity to play, socialise and make friends. “Les petits lascars” playgroup is specifically created for children ages 0 to 5 to provide a uniquely French-speaking environment.

Each session is held entirely in French for both the children and their caregivers. It is a friendly and informal atmosphere where the children are free to take part in various activities like crafts, stories, and sing-alongs. They can also run, jump and climb in the safety of our well equipped playground. A light snack is served at every session while parents enjoy a coffee and time to get to know each other. Occasionally, the group meets outside the Playcentre to visit various points of attraction around Auckland.

These sessions are free of charge, since the group is subsidised by the Ministry of Education (Early childhood education). However we do ask each caregiver to bring a fruit for the morning tea, to participate in setting up and cleaning up and occasionally to participate in fund raising events.

Francophone families living in Auckland are invited to join "Les petits lascars", every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9.30 am -12:30 pm at Blockhouse Bay Playcentre, 582 Blockhouse Bay Road, Blockhouse Bay.
