Play to Learn!

A FREE program for children and their caregivers!

Play to Learn is for parents, grandparents, neighbors and family friends who nurture children 6 years old and younger. There's a new theme each week with individual play, group activities, dancing, songs and story times for children and adults to enjoy together.

Play to Learn supports caregivers with helping children to become school ready through social and play experiences. Each week participants are offered a handout full of information and ideas for at home play.  We also provide occasional take home activity bags that encourage fun-filled experiences at home!

Drop in program: no registration required.
