Playgroups ideally consist of six to eight moms and their children, who meet weekly at a designated time and place. Playgroups are organized according to the age of the children, usually within a six month age span. Members of each playgroup select their meeting place and activities based on the personality and ages of the children in the group as well as the needs and desires of the moms. Most playgroups meet at parks in the summer and members home during the cold winter months. In order to have a successful playgroup, each member must be committed to it.
Regular attendance is essential in order for there to be a group.
