The children can play and have fun without having to worry about mom leaving. These can include coupons, children's clothes, and other baby items as well as services such as mowing the lawn, painting a room, or sewing clothes. Many local businesses offer discounts for non-profit groups, allowing playgroup members to save money at the stores they frequent. Many parents' groups and playgroups schedule field trips and other special events regularly. Their members get a chance to see the local sites and learn more about the area in which they live.
Some groups even become involved in the community through various service projects.
For yourself and for your children, go out today and look for a local playgroup. You and your children will be glad you did.
