The EarlyON Cochrane Child and Family Centre is a great place to make friends while learning important skills! Little Buddies Playgroup allows parents and caregivers to introduce their children to a range of activities they may not do at home. Our playgroups focus on the importance of play for children as it teaches them about the world they live in, how to share experiences with others, use their creativity and develop their imagination. Besides physical and cognitive development, play supports healthy brain development and builds emotional strength in children. Playgroup is also a great opportunity for parents, caregivers and children to build friendships and learn about other activities and groups within the community.
