WHAT'S A PLAYGROUP?
A playgroup is a gathering of similarly aged children and their parents or caregivers. 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.
First 5 Fridays
First 5 Fridays are held in the outdoor space of the Yuba County Library, the first Friday of every month at 10:00am. The purpose of this group is to create a space for children 0-5 to come together to play and for parents/caregivers to:
-
Gather information about community events & services
-
Ask question about their child's development and milestones
-
Learn fun ways to help their child learn and grow.
Each month will have a different theme and a fun activity for children to participate in and/or take home.

Books, Balls & Blocks Playgroup
Books, Balls & Blocks Playgroups are held in the indoor space of the Yuba County Library, the 4th Wednesday of every month, from 9:30-11:00 am. These playgroups includes activity stations revolving around books (emergent literacy), blocks (emergent math and fine motor skills) and balls (gross and fine motor and problem solving skills). Many caregivers appreciate the simplicity of the activities and can visualize how to recreate these learning stations at home using everyday items and toys.
