Within the back garden of our cottage are two beautiful, peaceful rooms where children can play, cook, paint with flowing water colours, sing or bake bread and watch the puppet stories.

The furnishings and toys are gifts from nature such as shells and crystals, seed pods and driftwood, or are crafted from natural materials of wood, silk, wool and cotton. They invite the fantasy life of the child to play creatively.

We are next door to Bales Park where you will often see us playing beneath the trees in the later morning.

Welcome Home Playgroup

Glenaeon’s family-style Playgroups are joyful and supportive of you and your child’s development. Our highly skilled Steiner Playgroup Educators create imaginative activities to ensure families enjoy an enriching, uplifting time together.

Each Playgroup meets once a week and is led by a qualified Steiner Early Childhood Educator who guides the group through a two-hour dynamic session including adult discussion. Stories and songs, circle activities and free-play both indoor and out reflect the seasons of the year. A shared nourishing morning tea is a cornerstone of the occasion. Everyone develops multiple skills for crafting a happy healthy home. Our colourful Playgroup rooms are furnished with quality handmade toys while natural gardens are a safe haven for explorative active tactile play.

We welcome all families with children from birth to five years of ages.
