Playgroups
When kids play, they learn, and the world smiles!
Join us for free playgroups that teach children to laugh, explore, and create. Discover the many wonderful ways that play inspires learning. Playgroups offer grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nannies, neighbors, friends, and parents a space to connect with one another and build community. Join us weekly to pretend, play, celebrate music, create art, and dream up inventions while gaining new parenting tools and learning about child development. A light snack will be served.
Playgroups are designed to be ongoing series that build upon each other each week. When you RSVP for a Playgroup (below), you will be signed up for the entire series.
These events are created especially for two groups of caregivers: Family, Friend, and Neighbors (FFN) who care for young children, and licensed Family Child Care (FFC) providers. FFN caregivers are grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, neighbors, and friends. Young babies are welcome at FFN playgroups if with a sibling in the recommended age group (one to five years).
At each facilitated group, you will be introduced to new ideas to increase parenting skills and improve awareness of children’s needs, learn about healthy child development, and better understand how to effectively support early learning and kinder-readiness.

If you run a licensed family child care program, you’re invited to our new Playgroups at Melrose Library! Bring your little ones ages 2 to 5 and join us to explore how play can inspire meaningful learning and encourage healthy child development. At different activity centers, children will paint, create, build, imagine, pretend, and invent while caregivers learn how simple household items can be used as tools to promote early learning. Each playgroup will focus on a theme such as Language and Literacy, Social-Emotional Skills, and Math and Science. Facilitator Soyla Madrigal & Mariela Herrera will provide resources and information on ways to incorporate these concepts into everyday life as opportunities for children’s educational growth.
Playgroups are designed to be 4-week series that build upon each other every week. When you RSVP, you will be signed up for the entire series. RSVP at www.bananasbunch.org/playgroups

If you run a licensed family child care program, you’re invited to our new Playgroups at Melrose Library! Bring your little ones ages 2 to 5 and join us to explore how play can inspire meaningful learning and encourage healthy child development. At different activity centers, children will paint, create, build, imagine, pretend, and invent while caregivers learn how simple household items can be used as tools to promote early learning. Each playgroup will focus on a theme such as Language and Literacy, Social-Emotional Skills, and Math and Science. Facilitator Soyla Madrigal & Mariela Herrera will provide resources and information on ways to incorporate these concepts into everyday life as opportunities for children’s educational growth.
Playgroups are designed to be 4-week series that build upon each other every week. When you RSVP, you will be signed up for the entire series. RSVP at www.bananasbunch.org/playgroups
