Parent Child Play Groups

Our parent child play groups meet at our Nursery- Kindergarten one morning or afternoon a week in six to eight week sessions throughout the school year.  The morning runs from 9:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. Children who tire easily are welcome to leave early. These groups are for young children up to age 3 ½ . Siblings from newborn to age 4 ½ are welcome.

Our play groups are led by experienced teachers who understand the needs of the very youngest children and who look forward to sharing a morning with you and your child. 

Our morning includes play time for the children and activities to keep parents’ hands occupied as well. You may help to prepare the snack, join in a simple finger game or craft a toy for your child from natural materials.

Your child will feel comfortable exploring new toys and making friends in this warm and safe environment with Mom or Dad nearby. We will join in songs and finger plays, enjoy a hearty snack, and play outside in our beautiful garden.

Directions to Nursery Kindergarten:

From Central Square in downtown Keene take Court Street towards the Northwest. After two miles Court Street becomes Old Walpole Road at the traffic light at the intersection of 12A. Follow Old Walpole Road for 2.6 miles to the entrance of the school on your left.

We hope you will join us.

The program fee for parent child play groups is on a sliding scale from $75 to $150 per session.
