Kids at Play Activity Program
The Kids at Play Activity Program was developed by Sport and Recreation Services to increase the opportunities available for children to engage in non-structured active play. Since the commencement of the program more than 89,000 children from across the ACT have participated in Kids at Play active play sessions.
The program caters for children aged 2-5 years of age and involves two colourful and eye-catching vans stocked with fun, safe and age appropriate play equipment visiting targeted early childhood settings across the ACT. The vans are staffed by trained play facilitators who guide children and carers in a variety of non-structured play activities.
The Kids at Play Activity Program is open to community and government organisations conducting activities and/or events for children aged 2-5 years of age that expect a minimum participation number of 20 children per session.
