Playgroups & Story Hours
Playgroups and story hours are a wonderful way to socialize young children and to get some socialization with other parents. It has been proven that children learn from each other and through play. Playgroups offer this opportunity. Story hours are filled with wonderful stories to help your child develop a fondness of books and some story times offer crafts and a snack.
