Family Playgroups
Learning through play.
Our Family Playgroups are a fun and engaging time for caregivers to interact and build skills with their children.
In our playgroups, families sing, engage in early literacy, and participate in hands-on activities that help their children grow and learn.
But our playgroups aren’t just for the kids. Families create communities, learn new parenting skills, and access valuable family resources.
Playgroups are offered in collaboration with Cape Ann Early Intervention. Funding is through the MA Department of Early Education and Care and the Coordinated Family & Community Engagement Grant (CFCE).
