Why Playgroup Matters Between 1.5 and 2.5 Years

Playgroup is your child's first structured learning experience outside home. Between 1.5 and 2.5 years, toddlers learn fastest through play, so our playgroup gives them a gentle, happy introduction to routine, friends and new skills.

At Rainbow Preschool, our playgroup focuses on social interaction, sensory exploration and motor skills. Through planned activities, children learn to share, take turns and build confidence in a safe, caring space.

Early, well-guided play supports language, thinking and emotional development, and gives your child a strong foundation for nursery.
