Partnering with Playgroup SA is a meaningful way to support children, families and communities across South Australia. Our partnerships strengthen early childhood development, increase access to inclusive play opportunities and help local communities thrive.
We work with organisations, services, local councils and community groups that share our commitment to supporting families in the early years. Together we create environments where families feel welcome, connected and confident.

- Contribute to inclusive and accessible play opportunities
- Build visibility for your organisation within a trusted statewide network

Professional development, research and learning opportunities
We offer a range of professional development options for coordinators, community workers and organisations. This includes workshops, training sessions and tailored learning that focuses on child development, play based practice, inclusive environments and community engagement.
Playgroup SA is also active in research and evaluation projects that inform best practice in the early years. We collaborate with universities, government agencies and community partners to explore how play, family engagement and community programs support child development and wellbeing. These research partnerships help strengthen the evidence base that guides our work and contributes to sector wide learning.
We also host social work students completing their university placements. These students contribute to research, program development and community projects while gaining practical experience in the early childhood and family support sector. Their involvement strengthens our capacity and helps build the future workforce.
