Children and their families form a connection with our early childhood and primary school educators at Little Lanterns Playgroup, and are already part of the school community by the time they commence full time schooling.

What is Little Lanterns Playgroup?

Parents, caregivers, grandparents and extended family members join the children to play, socialise, make real-world connections and develop confidence.

Our playgroup is open to all families, and we warmly welcome both those within our school community and those from outside it.

Adults also utilise the time each week to build friendships and networks of their own.

Where and When is Little Lanterns Playgroup?

Playgroup takes place every Monday during the school term between 9.00am and 10.30am in our early childhood learning area.

Themed sessions and activities are tailored to children aged up to five years old. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @acpswa to find out what is planned for the next session.

How much does Little Lanterns Playgroup Cost?

We would like every child to have the opportunity to experience the wonderful education provided by our qualified teachers at Assumption Catholic Primary School. Therefore, the cost of our Little Lanterns Playgroup is free of charge!

What to bring to Little Lanterns Playgroup?

All you need to bring along is your hat, water bottle and your morning tea for you and your child.

How do I enrol my child for Little Lanterns Playgroup?

There is no need to enrol or book in advance. When you arrive at our school for playgroup, please utilise our carpark located on Oakmont Avenue and once you enter the school grounds, please follow the signs to visit our administration office to sign in.

One of our team members will be able to show you how to sign in and obtain a visitor label to wear. They will then show you where the early learning area is.

Please ensure you sign in at the administration office every time you attend playgroup before making your way to the early learning area.

Did you know we also offer Pre Kindy for children aged 3 years and Kindergarten for 4 year olds?

We are receiving enrolments up to three years ahead of when students are due to commence schooling. Therefore we suggest you enrol your child in advance for Pre Kindy and Kindergarten to avoid the disappointment of missing out on a placement.

Pre Kindy For 2025 Is Now Full

However, if you would like to place your child’s name on our waitlist, please contact Mrs Denise Teasdale in the administration office on 08 9583 8500 or by email at admin@assumption.wa.edu.au.

Because of the number of applications we are receiving, please consider enroling your child for 2026 regardless of whether they will be commencing Pre Kindy in Semester One or Semester Two.
