Every year we continue to keep our wonderful playgroup going and this naturally get harder year on year. Last year we climbed a mountain, this year we are going to walk a half marathon.

St Catharines Under fives is a not for profit charity playgroup offering that village community feel in the heart of the city. It has a special place in so many people's hearts in the community.

We will continue to fundraise and really are determined to raise as much as we can to keep St Catharines going as it has a very special place for us all. Personally the confidence it gave my children from the amazing team still shines years later.

A little bit about us:

We aim to provide a safe and fun environment to children from as young as 2 years with Stay & Play sessions from birth. Did you know we have been around for over 50 years! In March 1969, the Young Wives of St Catharines Church set up St Catharines Playgroup to run every Wednesday morning . The Sunday School allowed the use of their chairs and tables, and the first toys were donated by the Young Wives themselves. Then in the 70's this expanded to further days. In the 80's our weekly Stay & Play session started running and still is! Since then we have become members of ofsted and have continued with the amazing support of our community, playteam and helper's.

We really are a community and can only do what we do with the amazing support of our incredible community. Will you support us and help us to continue for many more years to come!
