Playgroups are a great way for our children to learn social skills and make friends, as well as a chance for parents to meet, chat and develop friendships. Each playgroup consists of four to five children of similar age and/or gender.

Once all playgroups are established, the playgroup facilitator plans the first play date and contacts the members of the playgroup. At this initial play date, the individual groups determine their group's best meeting days and times.

The group facilitator's main job is to organize the first play date. Some groups may choose to keep the facilitator in an active role of "leading" the group while some groups may not.

To sign up for a playgroup, please complete the Playgroup Sign-Up Form by October 1, 2007.

If you joined BVECPTA after the deadline and would like to join a playgoup, please e-mail BVECPTA and the playgroup chairperson will contact you.
