The emergence of virtual playgroup
|
Traditionally, playgroup is a chance for parents, grandparents, nannies and other care-givers to meet up for a couple of hours each week with their under fives.
It provides opportunities for babies, toddlers and preschoolers to get moving, get messy and get acquainted with toys, materials and equipment they might not have at home. And while littlies are busy interacting, exploring and learning through play, playgroup enables grown-ups to make connections and share experiences in a relaxed environment.
Of course, things have changed with the emergence of COVID-19. Social distancing and home isolation have affected the way people share time and space, but, fortunately, it is still possible for families to connect digitally and have a playgroup experience together, but apart.
