Organisers of the Marra Elders Playgroup say it is where Dreaming stories are passed on, language is heard, and the deep role of Elders in teaching and guiding is honoured.
Every fortnight, Elders from the Aboriginal Elders Village, operated by Aboriginal Community Services in Davoren Park, are joined by local children up to five years-old and their carers.
It's the only playgroup in South Australia hosted in a First Nations-specific aged care home and offers a rare opportunity for children to learn directly from cultural custodians, fostering respect, identity and belonging from an early age.
