Lifestart Northern Beaches welcomes local Mayors to Open Play

Lifestart Open Play at Northern Beaches

The Mayors of Manly (Clr. Jean Hay), Pittwater (Clr. Harvey Rose) and Warringah (Clr. Connie Harris) made a special visit to the Lifestart Northern Beaches Branch in French’s Forest this morning. They attended ‘Open Play’ to meet children and parents and gain a better understanding of the services the branch provides. They all enjoyed the high spirits of the children and getting down on the floor and singing with them.

‘Open Play’ is a core part of Lifestart. It provides an opportunity for the kids to play in a secure environment and for their parents to meet and support each other. It also provides a place where non-Lifestart parents can attend with their children and gain support and advice. For more information about ‘Open Play’ contact your closest Lifestart Branch.
