Playgroups are a chance for children of the same age to get together to play, socialize, and create together on a regular basis. Socialization is important for small children as they learn how to share playspace, toys, and attention and how to get along with others and make friends. This is also a chance for their parents to meet other moms and dads, share stories and concerns, and provide support for each other. Playgroups often forge long-lasting friendships for kids and parents alike!
