This 7 week parent/child playgroup will have a weekly theme. This is a child centered playgroup and children are encouraged to help choose the theme for group. Each group will have a circle/story time, free play opportunities, art/crafts and a snack. Goals of the program will include providing children opportunities to experience success in a group setting and participate in activities that will strengthen their group play, social, literacy and learning skills.
