Playgroup is held at Malvern Hill Uniting Church in Croydon on Monday mornings during school term. Each Playgroup starts at 9.00 am and runs for about an hour and a half.
Our Playgroup is led by a qualified Early Childhood Educator. Children aged 0-5 years are welcome to come with their parent or caregiver. There is no fee to attend.
Playgroup allows children and parents/carers to socialize, learn, and play together in a supportive community setting, providing essential early childhood development through structured and unstructured play, helping children with confidence, creativity, and school readiness. It also offers parents and carers connection and a chance to share experiences.
We take our responsibility to care for all of creation seriously—both for the present and future generations. As stewards of God’s creation, we value the natural world for its own sake, not just for its material benefits to us.
The Uniting Church participates in local and national advocacy campaigns, and encourages individuals and organisations to live in environmentally sustainable ways.
We have a variety of small groups that provide friendship, learning opportunities and faith formation.
Our Preschool provides a high quality early childhood educational program for children and families. There are two programs; a two day program and a three day program.

UnitingCare Burwood Preschool sits proudly on Wangal land and has been for the past 75 years. The preschool has a very strong sense of community and it’s common to have second and third generation families returning with their children and grandchildren to attend the preschool. The preschool is overseen by a Board of Management which consists of volunteer parent representatives, community and congregation members.
We aim for children to feel a sense of connection, community, belonging and being. We view children as capable, competent, co-contributors, and acknowledge them as active participants in their own learning. We endeavour to develop strong partnerships with families as we believe they have a powerful influence on children's learning and development, providing a wealth of knowledge about their children.
Our preschool is a place where play is used to encourage happiness, support exploration, scaffold ideas, be curious and promote engagement. We believe that our differences are what make us strong as a community and we value the different abilities, cultures, languages and identities of our community.
