http://www.decd.sa.gov.au/docs/documents/1/SitesServicesPlaycentres.pdf (list of playcentres)
Playcentres are for children from birth to five years and are predominantly in rural areas where numbers are too small to operate a viable preschool. Parents of children under three years of age are expected to attend with their children. Attendance of parents with three and four year old children is optional.
Playcentres offer one or two sessions per week. Sessions last up to three hours. The program focuses on children's development through play
