What is a Playgroup?

A playgroup is a small gathering of parents/caregivers and their children, who get together on a regular basis for play and interaction, often meeting in a public place such as a park or designated play area.  It can also give you a chance to meet and learn from other parents -- adding up to new-found friendships for you and your children in a healthy, nurturing environment.

Extensive research indicates clear benefits to consistent playtime (usually an hour-an-half or two weekly) for kids and their parents/caregivers. A playgroup can significantly help children develop social skills, gain independence, and build self-confidence.
