‘Playgroup visits’

le toboggan playgroup visit

We come to you. 😀

Are you a French or Spanish playgroup? We can bring a small selection of our books to you.

Are you an English background playgroup and would like to expose your children to another language? Contact us and let’s organise a bilingual story time.

There are many benefits to exposing children to a different languages. Our story times are the perfect setting, we sing songs with actions that children are familiar with in English and the stories are read in French or Spanish and in English. The sessions are interactive as children ‘help’ me read the books.

For Perth metro only.
