Playgroups are a great space for children and their caregivers to get out of the house and socialize, in a developmentally appropriate setting. These regularly scheduled groups support children's social development, ease the transition to school, and improve overall health, while also providing social and health support to parents, knowledge sharing, and learning opportunities.

​

Current playgroups include:

  • First 5 Fridays (1st Friday of every month)

  • Balls, Blocks and Books (4th Wednesday of every month) 

  • Help Me Grow Playzeum (various times/locations throughout Yuba County)
