Parents, caregivers and preschoolers are invited to play indoors under the beautiful GCC dome! Come every day or just occasionally, it’s up to you. Circle time and coffee included. Newborn siblings are welcome! Adults are responsible for supervising their own children and are asked to help with set-up and take-down of toys and equipment. If you bring a snack, no nuts please.

Please note, each attending child is required to have a GNAG profile and program waiver signed by their legal guardian.

We’re THRILLED to announce that GNAG is subsidizing Playgroup this year through our Community Development Fund, making the program more affordable for families.

For just $60, one Family Playgroup Membership covers your family for the entire school year (September 14 to June ). This membership will not be pro-rated.

The membership is purchased by the account owner through your Amilia account and covers all of the children in your family (not children from other families) who attend Playgroup.

Once your family has a membership, anyone can bring your children to Playgroup — a parent, caregiver, grandparent, family friend, or other trusted adult. The adult bringing the child does not need their own membership. The membership is purchased by the parent but applies to the children.

For example:

  • You bring your child: Your family membership covers your child.
  • A grandparent brings your child: Your family membership still covers your child; the grandparent does not need a membership.
  • A caregiver brings your child: Your family membership covers your child; the caregiver does not need a membership.
  • You have multiple children in your own family who attend Playgroup: The $60 family membership covers all of your children.
  • A caregiver brings 3 children from 3 different families. Each of the three families must purchase a Playgroup membership.

What if you don’t have a Family Membership?

You are still welcome to drop in! Drop-in attendance is $10 per visit for people without a Playgroup Membership. You can see how the $60 membership is a far better deal for a 10 month period with 170 opportunities to attend.

If a caregiver arrives with a child who is not covered by a Family Playgroup Membership, the $10 drop-in fee will apply for that child.
