Connect and play
We all want to connect with our children and help them learn, gaining great experiences along the way. Incorporating Words Grow Minds, Unley Toy Libraries and Clarence Park Community Centre have come together to offer our community some opportunities to access tools, ideas, information and an activity program to help enable some of these experiences between you and your child.
Visit our Connect and Play page for resources, videos, and book recommendations - this page will be added to over the next few months, so keep an eye on it.
