Caregivers and child in playgroup

Playgroups and Parent Support Groups will meet at four different locations this year!

Playgroups and parent support groups are an opportunity to connect with other parents and caregivers, learn about parenting, and introduce your child to other children. All groups focus on a variety of experiences that support children's development in literacy, math, science, music, art, large motor, fine motor, and social-emotional skills.
