Our Classes
At Playwise, we offer a range of classes that are tailored to the age and developmental stage of your child. Classes are curated to provide a fun and engaging learning experience for your child, while providing a weekly activity with familiar faces for you both to enjoy.
mums & bubs ~ 60mINS ~ bIRTH - 12mTHS
Our Mums & Bubs sessions are a chance for local mothers and their babies to spend time together, chat and play. These sessions are relaxed and nurturing, with simple sensory experiences, floor play and unhurried time to explore our beautiful rich sensory environment.
It's a clean, calm and comfortable space where friendships grow, questions are welcomed, and both you and your baby feel seen and supported.
Group size: Max. 20
By term enrolment only for familiarity and connection.
Our Regular Classes
Our regular classes all follow the same structure, designed to maximise engagement and learning. With this regular routine, children know what to expect and become comfortable in the space so that they can settle into what we do best: playful learning!
Each class begins with a choice of play invitations that focus on developmentally appropriate sensory exploration and fine motor skill development before coming together for group time and then moving through to the gross motor play area. We finish on a fun and positive note with bubbles and a sticker.
Experiences on offer change each week.

starters ~ 45mINS ~ bIRTH - 6mTHS
Our Starters classes are a gentle introduction to our regular classes at PlayWise. These sessions are full of ideas you can use at home with your baby, with different play tips shared each week. We sing songs, read a story, practice tummy time in novel ways and enjoy parachute play together each class. You will be guided through different ways of using our beautiful gross motor play area to maximise development before finishing the class with bubbles.
Group size: Max. 15
By term enrolment only as these classes are built on sequentially.
COMING IN TERM 2!
crawlers ~ 45mINS ~ 6-12 mThs
Our Crawlers classes are designed for little ones who are starting to move or already crawling. Emphasis is on sensory exploration, tummy time and developing core strength. We start to introduce some messy play experiences to foster curiosity, fine motor skills and develop new neural pathways. Through music and singing, we encourage simple gestures like clapping and waving. We regularly read books together to develop early language skills and encourage a love of reading.
Group size: Max. 12
By term enrolment or casual bookings (where classes have capacity)
WALKERs ~ 45mINS ~ 10ths - 2yrs
This class is designed for little ones who are beginning to explore their environment on two feet, whether it be cruising, standing or taking those first steps. We encourage Walkers to follow along as we sing familiar nursery rhymes and play musical instruments, as well as introducing new songs for speech and motor development. Walkers will be challenged to move along, up, down, over and under different surfaces and obstacles in our gross motor play space.
Group size: Max. 12
By term enrolment or casual bookings (where classes have capacity).
EXPLORERs ~ 60mINS ~ 2-3 yrs
This class is designed for little ones who are confidently exploring their world. They will be tackling the equipment with greater ease as they climb, hang, swing, roll and jump. Play invitations include more imaginative play and smaller pieces, while fine motor activities involve more precise movements and holding a variety of implements. Group time now includes some games, turn-taking and listening activities.
Group size: Max. 10
By term enrolment only for familiarity and connection.
launchers ~ 60mINS ~ 3-5Yrs
This play-based class for preschoolers fosters the core skills children need for school success. Play invitations focus on developing fine motor skills and introducing early literacy and mathematical concepts in a playful way. Group Time includes explicit teaching of pre-reading and numeracy skills; playful activities encourage co-operation and listening; while nurturing confidence speaking in front of a small group.
Group size: Max. 10
By term enrolment only for familiarity, connection and continuity of learning. Consistent, annual enrolment in the same class is highly recommended to get the most out of our Launchers classes.
