Playgroup - Good for the child
The document discusses the benefits of playgroups for both children and parents. It notes that playgroups allow children to develop important social and cognitive skills through play-based activities while also giving parents a support network and break. However, it acknowledges that more research is still needed on how playgroups influence early childhood development and education outcomes over the long term. The document advocates for playgroups as an important transitional experience from home to preschool.
