THE Ocean Grove Playgroup was recognised for its longevity and quality recently.
The group was a finalist for Regional Playgroup of the Year at the Playgroup Victoria Awards.
Playgroup president Nicola Hyde was a finalist for Playgroup Leader of the Year. Nicola is in fact the daughter of a founding member.
The playgroup offers many opportunities for young children and parents to play and develop and be connected to their community.
The judges were impressed with the fact that the playgroup has operated since 1981.
