Some playgroups meet once a week or more, while others may only meet once a month.
Meetings vary in length depending on the ages of the children and the type of playgroup.
Some playgroups target a specific population such as children with disabilities, single parents, only children, etc. Meeting places can be in member's homes or in public facilities such as churches, schools, or other community facilities. During the meetings, planned activities can be offered to the children, or they can just enjoy free play. You can find a playgroup through newspaper ads, community bulletin boards, mother's clubs, town offices, and local non-profit organizations that service children and families. If you are unable to locate a suitable group in your area, you might want to consider starting your own.
