Preschool Playgroup Cafe
This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
This program is designed for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. We invite our families to bring a lunch to eat during the first fifteen (15) minutes of class. We will provide a drink & healthy dessert to add to the fun of eating with your Playgroup Friends! This Preschool Playgroup will be a developmental progression from the Toddler & Tots Playgroup with activities offered for older children.
This class will be different than the morning Playgroups in that the weekly themed centers, activities and enrichment lessons offered will be appropriate for children ages 3, 4 & 5years old. We add a Pre-Writing and/or Math Center to this Playgroup designed to help lay the foundation for school success.
