Little Waves Playgroup
Join us for a fun-filled morning of play, creativity, and connection by the beach! Little Waves Playgroup is a Council approved beachside art class with a welcoming space where babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their grown-ups can explore, create, and make new friends in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Each session is hosted by experienced local artist Renée Johnston and includes nature-inspired arts and crafts, sensory play, stories, movement, and plenty of free play, all designed to encourage curiosity, imagination, and confidence while enjoying the beauty of the coast.
Whether you’re new to the area or looking to connect with other local families, Little Waves Playgroup is the perfect place to build friendships and create special memories together.
