Read, Grow, Play Playgroups
A playgroup is an opportunity to learn more about your child's developmental stages. By attending a playgroup with your child, you will learn from our educators how play can be used to direct your child's learning. Together, you and your child will meet other parents and their children in a caring and supportive environment. Registration is required and space is limited. We keep these playgroups small so that you and your child can benefit from the personal attention of our educators. Please join us by filling out an interest form. Target Audience - 0 to 5 with parents.
