After a successful pop up playgroup day held in October 2025, local parents have established an ongoing playgroup in Marino.
The playgroup is at the Marino Community Hall on Tuesdays from 10am – 11.30am.
The playgroup is free with no booking required – just turn up. There will be a Playgroups SA QR code on the day for free registration.
The 5049 Coastal Community Association supported the group in its first month while it was getting established and will continue that support in March and April 2026.
Nest Kiosk and Little Nest cafe are sponsoring the playgroup in February 2026.
Thank you to these wonderful local sponsors who are covering the cost of room hire and keeping the playgroup free for families.
In the early stage of the playgroup, toys and play items are not yet established so feel free to bring something to play with together. BYO snacks for your child(ren) – please be conscious of allergens.
The Marino Community Hall has toilets, baby change table and is a pram and wheelchair friendly venue.
Playgroup is for mums, dads, grandparents and caregivers with their babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers (aged 0-6 years). It is a great way for your child(ren) to learn about the world, make friends and develop social skills. Playgroup also gives mums, dads, grandparents and caregivers a chance to share parenting experiences. Many long-term friendships for both children and adults begin at playgroup.
Parents, grandparents and caregivers are encouraged to come along and share their ideas about how they’d like to see the playgroup be run. Volunteers to keep the playgroup going are needed – so be sure to chat with the team while you’re there about your ideas and ability to be involved (no previous experience necessary).
Local families are invited to drop in and find out more about what the playgroup offers.
