Guided by an experienced Steiner teacher
Merri Steiner Playgroup has been running for over 20 years. An experienced and dedicated Steiner teacher guides each playgroup session and develops unique programs each term to celebrate the seasons and festivals.
We’re an inclusive, nurturing space where children explore through imaginative play, song and story, and where parents and carers share the morning together.
