PlayGroup NYC

Sometimes books aren’t *just* right, so we make them our own! We love the book I Forgive Alex by Marie Pommpuy, and we added a little PlayGroup magic to make it fit our interests!

We’ve had some fussy customers at PlayGroup! The lion hair salon has many stylists working together to give some fussy lions the PERFECT hairdo. The children are learning to play together and that perfect isn’t really possible. All while having fun and getting creative with hair!

Yes…and…. Books tell more than stories at PlayGroup! Some groups are practicing the game “yes…and….” as we read!

Following children’s interests and documenting ideas! This builds perspective-taking skills and collaboration as we work together to solve untold mysteries….usually started by Voldemort!

This rainy day is a great day to plan for summer! Check out our summer offerings and let us know if you’re interested: [email protected]

Few things can bring people together like glitter- says Becky! Haha! Using glitter and glue to bring ideas together and connect over our likes or dislikes for the tiny, sparkly art material!

This may seem like a simple DUPLO building, but the children who built it worked hard to add their ideas together while *gulp* their DUPLO touched another child’s DUPLO! This can be hard and we used a structured activity with clear previewing to help children get here. I wonder what kind of work together build they’ll do next!

Our teachers are getting ready for the winter semester! Happy New Year, we can’t wait to welcome everyone in January!

We learned about children’s likes and dislikes using visuals during the fall semester. This worked on social skills such as: perspective taking, collaboration through connection and self advocacy!
