These playgroups are often church or community based, and parents help run the sessions. They aim to develop young children’s knowledge of their own Pasefika language and culture from countries such as Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu and Fiji. The learning programmes may be in both Pasefika and English, or in the Pasefika language only. Parents may be asked for a donation to support these groups
