Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Playschool

QPRC coordinates a playschool program for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children aged 3-6 years.

Playschool provides a wonderful learning opportunity where children can socialise, enjoy each others’ company and make friends. Children will participate in a range of structured and fun activities alongside qualified staff.
