playgroup
This playgroup, for early walkers through preschoolers, is a great way for caregivers and kids to bond, learn, and play together in a fun, safe environment.

The East Granby Farms Recreation Building becomes a giant playroom where parents and caregivers join in with their little ones in activities, games, and creative projects. We set up age-appropriate play stations and materials to spark your child's curiosity and imagination.

Each session includes sensory play, motor activities, and arts and crafts, all designed to support early development and social skills. We end with a short circle time where the facilitator reads a story and leads some interactive music and movement. Be sure to bring a drink and a nut-free snack for your child during story time!

Beyond play, our group is a friendly community where parents can connect, share experiences, and build friendships. It's a wonderful place to create memories as you watch your child grow and develop.

Connect, play, and learn alongside your child in a welcoming space designed to spark joy and build memories together.

This fall, we're offering two separate 5-week playgroup sessions instead of one 10-week session. This new format allows for added flexibility in scheduling and makes it easier for families to commit to the time that works best for them. You’re welcome to sign up for one or both sessions, whatever fits your fall plans!
