Playgroup Registration
Come Play & Learn With Us!

Our interactive programs offer children a literacy-rich environment to explore their world and develop new friendships and build school readiness skills. Parent-child classes have numerous benefits for your child's social-emotional skills and development (plus they're a lot of fun!). All of our classes are FREE thanks to the Mass Family Network Grant from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education & Care (EEC).
