Hi Everyone
I hope you’re managing to stay calm at a busy time of the year! There’s one more week at CPCC before we closes for the Christmas break. The Centre re-opens on Tuesday 20th January at 10am. If you feel like you’re going to be at a loss for what to do with the kids in the week before they go back to school, check out our School Holiday classes below.
There was an error in last week’s newsletter: Lauren Molhoek will be organising next year’s CPCC Buggy Group on Monday mornings. Thanks Lauren for all the great work you do co-ordinating this group!
