A. PLAYGROUP MEETINGS
- Playgroups will meet one time per week. Each group rotates
meetings at members’ homes, parks, or any other special place agreed
upon by the group. If there is a member of the group who is regularly
unable to host, that person can have the help of a "surrogate" host,
but will be expected to help with snacks and any set up and/or clean
up.
- The morning of the playgroup, or even a few days before, call the
hosting parent so that they know how many people/children to expect.
- Please do not attend playgroups if your child is sick.
- When visiting a member’s home, please ask them about the rules
and boundaries of their house. Please make sure to help your little one
follow the rules of the host.
- Each group may decide whether to provide snacks for the kids. If
you choose to feed them, make sure you are aware of any food allergies.
- Set aside a few minutes at the end of each playgroup to help
clean up.
B. PLAYGROUP COORDINATORS
Each playgroup must have a coordinator. In addition to being a liaison
with the board of directors, the coordinator’s responsibilities will
include scheduling playgroup locations and being a contact person for
group members and visitors.
