The much-loved BCC Cubs Playgroup has returned to Burdekin Christian College, bringing with it the laughter, colour, and energy that have made it a favourite for local families.
Starting from the 2nd of May, the campus will come alive every Friday morning from 9:00am to 10:30am, as children from birth to five years old gather for sessions of themed activities, creative play, and community connection. From superhero dress-up days to craft mornings celebrating special events, each session is designed to spark curiosity and joy in young minds.
“Our goal is to create a fun, safe, and welcoming environment where kids can learn through play while parents and carers connect,” said Mrs Alicia Henning, one of the program’s coordinators. “Each week is different, so there’s always something new to look forward to.”
The playgroup offers a mix of storytelling, imaginative play stations, craft corners, and outdoor games, all tailored to suit the various stages of early childhood development. Morning tea is provided, making the experience as enjoyable for parents and carers as it is for the children.
Mrs Ashlee Butler, a long-time organiser, said the excitement the group generates is well worth the effort. “Seeing the children smile and having a great time makes it all worthwhile,” she said.
Joining the team this year is Mrs Nashur Adams, who brings fresh energy to the program. “I can’t wait to be a part of our growing community,” she said. “It will be such a joy to see families coming together each week.”
Open to new and returning families alike, the BCC Cubs Playgroup offers not just a morning of fun, but a chance to form lasting friendships and connections.
Children are encouraged to bring a hat, a water bottle, and a big smile.
