Drop-in Stay and Play sessions!
About Purple Elephant Stay and Play Sessions
We offer twice-weekly stay and play sessions where families can meet and access family support, and their children can play together. The service supports families with pre-school age children but older children who are home schooled are also welcome at sessions; our resources can be borrowed subject to availability. Our service is open to all.
