Working 9 to 5… what a way to spend a playgroup!

Our Murwillumbah Playgroup paid tribute to the fabulous Dolly Parton, with the children dancing along to 9 to 5 and Jolene. They had the best time singing, moving and celebrating together!

Our playgroups promote early literacy through stories, songs, play and creativity. Each year, thanks to the generous support of Twin Towns Services Club, every child who attends one of The Family Centre’s playgroups is gifted a book of their own.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the inspiration behind our book-gifting program and its belief in helping children develop a love of reading from an early age.

As Dolly says: “You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.” 📚💛

Find out more about our playgroups at www.thefamilycentre.org.au or visit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
