What is Norwood CFCE Program Playgroup?

Norwood CFCE Program Playgroup is a 11 week playgroup for children, moms, dads or caregivers to attend together.  Playgroups provide activities that help children learn and experience being part of a group.  This playgroup is for children ages 24 months (2 years) to 36 months (3 years). This program is free of charg             

How do playgroups help my child?

Children play and learn with their parents, caregivers, and other children. The routines and activities help children grow and get ready for school.

What do parents and caregivers do during playgroups?

You get time to play and learn with your children.  You help them play with other kids and do fun activities together. 

When and where do they meet?

Playgroup meets once a week for 11 weeks from 9:00 to 10:30 AM.

Fridays:  March 3, 17, 24, 31, April 7, 28, May 5, 12, 26 and June 2, 2017.  The location is The Village Center, 82 Roosevelt Avenue, Norwood.

How often do I need to attend?

We want to see you every week!  This is not a drop-in group.  It is important for children to learn routines and be part of a regular group. 

What if I can’t come one week?

We understand that sometimes a child is sick, or you can’t make it to group for another reason. You can miss up to 3 groups.   If you miss more than 3 groups, then we will give your spot to another child on the waiting list.  You can always sign up again next session!
