Playgroups

**Playgroups are not currently meeting due to COVID-19 restrictions.**

In our playgroups, infants and toddlers will engage in developmentally appropriate play in the company of their peers and parents/caregivers. We offer two groups serving children from 2 months through 3 years old, which include My Grownup & Me! and Developmental Variations.

My Grownup & Me!

In the company of their peers and parents or caregivers, children explore a variety of materials through play that engage their senses and ignite their curiosity. The group is facilitated by an early childhood educator and a social worker who have extensive experience in infant-toddler development and family support.

Infant groups are held on Mondays from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM and Thursdays from 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM. Toddler groups are held on Mondays from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM and also on Thursdays from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM.

Developmental Variations

This group supports families of young children receiving early intervention services either privately or through the Department of Health. In our Developmental Variations group, children engage in play-based experiences that support their social, emotional, and cognitive learning. Parents also have the time and space to meet alone with other parents—with the support of a social worker—to voice their thoughts and feelings and to share resources as they navigate specific challenges.

Developmental Variations groups are held on Thursdays from 3:30 – 5:00 PM. The cost is $1000 per trimester.

If you are interested in applying for financial assistance for either group, email jcorey@bankstreet.edu to request an application.
