Although anyone is welcome to plan and coordinate a playdate at any time, our Playgroup Leaders plan at least one playdate each month. Playgroups are open to any member unless otherwise noted (usually based on space constraints). If you have multiple children and aren’t sure if they can all attend, please reach out to the host and just ask! Usually, all ages are welcome!
Babies until First Steps
This one is really more for the moms! Bring your baby and a blanket for your baby to lay on. Moms typically rotate between each other’s houses and local story times. Baby friendly day time meet ups such as coffee, lunch and mall walks are a great way to fill the day for maternity leave and stay at home parents! The playgroup leaders for this group are welcoming their babies this summer and once able, they will also plan Mom’s Night Out opportunities for the group to meet in the evenings.
These playdates are geared towards the walkers who need more activities and space to play.
Playgroup Leaders: Gabi, Ashley, Tara, and Claire For more information, email: playgroups@lhaecpta.org
Preschoolers: 3's to 5's
This is our preschooler playgroup. These kiddos are even more on the move and becoming more and more social in their play. Our playdates are sometimes just a park and picnic, or maybe even a meet up at the treefort, other fun play area or a special event at the library. Sometimes it’s holiday fun at someone’s house usually with a craft and lots of giggles. Anyone in the group is welcome to host!
