Casey & District Multiple Birth Association offers multiple Playgroup sessions for members and non-members per week. Our playgroups run during the standard school terms and take a break for school holidays. Both parents and siblings are welcome to attend and you are able to bring a support person. Special events are held at these sessions at intervals throughout the year. Playgroup is a welcoming and supportive environment, and a great way to meet other parents of multiples

First time at playgroup today. was great! Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome. My little ones loved it and we will be back.

Mother of twins
Attending this group was the best thing I did. Not just for the interaction, tips I gathered, but to be in a spot where others just get it. Best thing I ever did. I encourage you all to get down there!
Thank you for all your preparation and efforts for a lovely Mother’s Day morning tea at playgroup this morning. Thank you.
It’s just good to get out of the house.
It was good to see our girls meet other babies. It felt a bit weird being the only guy, but it’s worth it.
Thank you for running the Young Bubs group. You have been a great source of information and support. It was lovely to meet everyone one and thank you for sharing your stories with me and my husband. They have helped us with our journey of becoming twin parents.
I need to say a massive thank you. You have helped our family in more ways than you will know! I was very unwell for several months after the birth of my twins. I had the support of my family, but no one really knew what it was like to have twins as those did at the Young Bubs playgroup. It was hard to get there, it was a struggle. I went one week and didn’t look back! It helped me get out of the house. I learnt from other parents all the little tricks to help make life so much better. The Playgroup facilitator was wonderful. When I began work again, she made my husband feel totally at ease, so much that he continues to go every week. It has taught him heaps too. Everyone needs to know the importance this group has had on our lives.
I find the support through the Facebook page very helpful and love attending the playgroup sessions.
Sad that today is the last playgroup for the year, thank you very much for all your hard work and support. Twin mummying is hard work. It’s so nice to have people to talk to!
Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the playgroup at Chisholm, my bubs always love it, the students are lovely and it’s great to be around other parents who “get it”!
