Neighborhood Playgroups

Are you looking for opportunities to meet other parents and children in your neighborhood? Then, plan on attending one of our neighborhood playgroups this year. These playgroups have been formed using the public elementary school attendance zones. The goal is to get to know your neighbors. If you are planning to attend your neighborhood school, neighborhood playgroups are a great way to meet others who will there too. If you are planning to attend private school, these playgroups help your children make neighborhood friends.
