A. PLAYGROUP MEETINGS

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Please do not attend playgroups if your child is sick.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
