Introducing the playgroup/group connection schedule for 2025-26! The first Wednesday of each month we invite families in our PAT and Lawrence community to our open playgroup. Here children and families will have an opportunity to engage with each other and learn more about Lawrence Parent as Teachers.
The third Wednesday of each month we will host our group connections. This will be a time for intentional parent-child interactions that encompass a particular child development area or family well being topic. These may be held in the morning, evenings or on Saturdays either in our playroom at Kennedy ECC or in the community.
Watch here for what exciting group connections we have planned for 2025-2026! Any questions feel free to reach out to program coordinator Stacie Daniels [email protected]
OUR FIRST OPEN PLAYGROUP IS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 3rd 10:00-11:30
