If parents agree, you could combine age groups. This should be considered carefully though. Babies and five to seven year olds may not be a great combination. An ideal playgroup should consist of no more than eight children. If you are meeting in each other s homes you must consider if you can accommodate the playgroup size you decide on.
Rules Sit down with the other parents to decide on rules for the playgroup.
Rules on siblings, sick children, inappropriate behavior, cancellation, and inclement weather should be established. Rules can be reviewed for amendment on a periodic basis. If you are going to meet at each others homes you must consider adding liability home insurance. No matter how much you child proof your home, accidents can and will happen. If you don t have the insurance, make a policy within the playgroup rules concerning liability.
