Weekly Playgroup sessions provided an opportunity to meet with other parents/caregivers and have fun positively interacting with their child. Playgroup sessions are designed to enhance the child’s development and skills in preparation for school. Parents act as mentors for each other or simply just offer friendship to each other.
