Benefits of Playgroups:

Playgroups provide opportunities for parents to learn from each other, share common experiences and concerns, develop lasting friendships, and form new support networks. It is also an opportunity  to get on the floor (or grass) and play with your child and share giggles and new experiences. 

You are welcome to join any playgroup day that works best for you and can attend as many playgroups as you wish each week. To register, just show up at playgroup and ask our volunteer for a form.

Churches and Community Centers have donated space for our use and enjoyment and we thank them! These playgroups have no religious affiliation.

If you have question about Healthy Start ~ Healthy Families playgroups, need directions or wish to start a playgroup in your area, please call Wendy at 503-655-8601.
