Activities are designed to be readily accessible to two-year-olds. We regularly have children from newborn to 4, depending on the day of the week.

Our philosophy focuses on providing an environment that fosters opportunities for young children to develop social skills of sharing, helping, and interacting with each other with support of their parents and teachers. Ultimately, it is our objective that children see themselves as special individuals created and loved by God.

Registrations accepted on a space-available basis.

Why Playgroups?

• Provide parents the opportunity to share philosophies and experiences related to child rearing.
