The story behind the programs

It’s All About Play was designed to complement the existing early year’s activities hosted in the City of Wanneroo. The City sponsors many local community playgroups by providing low/no cost venues from their local community centres and works in partnership with nonfor-profit organisations to ensure family services are needs led.

The City is also instrumental in the delivery of the statewide Better Beginnings program of introducing the 6 pre-literacy skills to all new babies across WA and It’s All About Play adds value to these core services.
