Bendigo Baptist Playgroups are an activity of the Bendigo Baptist Church. BBC desires to provide Playgroups that are welcoming, caring, that provide a safe, friendly and stimulating environment where children can socialize, play and explore while developing new skills appropriate to their own level of development. A dedicated group of parents leads each group. There is a time of set activities and free play every week followed by a time of music and stories as well as morning tea. Facilities include a secure playground and large rooms for indoor play.

In addition, Playgroup provides an opportunity for parents and carers to share the company of others who are going through similar stages with their children. Friendships made at playgroup have the potential to last a lifetime.

Louise Nott co-ordinates the playgroups. She is the mother of 2 and holds formal Early Childhood qualifications.
