We facilitate free, weekly playgroups for families and caregivers with children birth to age five. We provide large and small motor activities, crafts, stories,manipulatives as well as a snack.
Playgroups are a great way for connect with other families, find out about other resources in the area, and begin conversations about child development and parenting.
Our playgroups are funded by the Agency of Human Services, Department for Children and Families, Child Development Division.
