Kids at Parky

We love kids at Parkerville – their energy, creativity, their heart and the hope they are for our community. Our aim is to partner with families to inspire and nurture children to live responding to Jesus.

Our leaders are passionate about helping children through fun, friendships and age appropriate learning. They enjoy regular skill development training and each one goes through a responsible care process. We’re confident they’re in the right place.

Toddler Jam – the fabulous and fun musical, dancing, singing and playing program for 0-5 year olds – is back for 2010! As in past years Toddler Jam will be held each Wednesday during the school term. The morning session runs from 9:30-11:00am and the afternoon session from 1:00-2:30pm.

The program consists of an hour-long session with singing, dancing, moving, instruments, bubbles, parachute and story time, plus a half-hour morning or afternoon tea for the children (fresh fruit, cheese and crackers) and adults (Gloria Jeans coffees, tea and delicious home-made goodies).

Parkerville Toddler Jam is a non-profit program run by volunteers where all fees collected go directly towards the running of the programme. As in 2009, our weekly fees are as follows:

• $6 per family, with a family consisting of one adult and any number of children directly related to the adult;
• $2 per extra adult (eg Dad, Grandma, Aunty, family friend, etc);
