Playgroups offer two and a half hours of well-planned play and activities which help children with a number of important skills. Each group meets twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday, either in the morning or afternoon. It gives them a chance to develop social skills, such as sharing, with other children their age. Other benefits of playgroups include developing thinking and physical abilities more quickly. Parents are obviously important teachers, but it is often hard for them to motivate their kids as well on their own.
Parents also benefit from playgroups.
They get five hours a week to do other things while their children attend. Scholarships are available for families who have financial need. Parents who wish to enroll their children in a playgroup should call Kids Kampus at 356-0123.
