Church starts playgroup and kids' club

The Umina Uniting Church is looking for Peninsula families to join its community playgroup and kids' club.

The community playgroup is held on Friday mornings throughout the school terms from 10am to 12pm while the kids club for children in Kindergarten to Year 6 meet on Tuesday afternoons from 4.45pm.

Project coordinator Ms Teresa Read said the two groups were a great way for parents and their children to meet and interact with other local families.

"We are a safe place that values children and family and shares God's love for all people," Ms Read said.

"We have developed a range of activities for children from fine and gross motor activities to creative activities, music and reading.

"We encourage parents to be involved in this vibrant group of young families by sharing any gifts, talents and passions they have.

"All children attending are required to have a completed and signed indemnity and permission form to participate in the program.

"There is an annual joining fee of $5 and a $2 a week fee per family for the playgroup and $2 each week to join the kids club.

"We also encourage families to bring a piece of fruit to share for morning tea in the playgroup."
