Early learning
through Play 

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

Picture
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 is to create a space for children 0-5 to come together to play and for parents/caregiver to gather information about First 5 events and services, ask question about their child's development and milestones, and 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.
