We were honoured to host World Play Day at Retreat library! 🎉📚

The children had an unforgettable day filled with fun, creativity, and adventure alongside LiBee, Sharkspotters, Sports and Recreation, Metro World Kids, and Community, Arts and Culture Development.

From imaginative fantasy play with the toy library to colourful face painting, and exciting outdoor activities. There was something for everyone to enjoy.

A special thank you to our colleagues, ECD centres, partners, and staff who helped make the day so memorable for the children and our community. ✨
