- Description: This project focuses on the role of Playgroup Development Consultants in connecting rural families to community playgroups. The aim of this project is twofold: 1) To identify the connections Playgroup Development Consultants establish in local rural communities in terms of support from local venues and key early years services, including Maternal and Child Health, local council and kindergarten services for promoting community playgroups to families; and 2) To review existing strategies associated with promoting and increasing community playgroup participation in rural communities, and to suggest innovative alternatives for continued participation by families.
