Playgroup Descriptions

Infants, Toddlers, and Two-Plus Playgroups are held in participant’s homes on a rotating basis.

Infants with Siblings and Multi-age Playgroups are generally held in participant’s homes, a local park or a "fun spot" determined by the Playgroup Coordinator. "Fun Spots" should be free or of low cost to members. Please let your Coordinator know if you have ideas about fun things to do.

Playgroup schedules and locations are listed on the back of the Chapter’s Monthly Calendars and in the Member’s Only Online Vault.

Playgroup Guidelines

	FEMALE feels strongly that those who attend playgroup must be members in good standing of our Chapter. Only members or prospective members are allowed to attend playgroups held in participant’s homes.
	If your child is sick (fever, significant runny nose, other symptoms), please do not attend. If you are hosting, call your coordinator to make other arrangements.
	Always remember to RSVP for all playgroups to the hostess if playgroup is at a home.
	Hostesses for playgroups are not required to provide drinks or snacks.
	Please try to help clean play area, when playgroup is held at someone’s home. When playgroup is held in a public playground or facility, please leave the area cleaner than you found it, so that we will be welcome again.
	Please be respectful of property. Should you or your child accidentally damage someone else’s property, please make restitution.
	Pets should be kept out of the play area.
	You are responsible for your child’s behavior, so please watch your child constantly. If any problems arise concerning children’s behavior or personality conflicts that cannot be resolved within the playgroup, please contact the Playgroup Director for assistance. Individual playgroups may want to discuss among themselves how to handle discipline problems that often arise among small children who are learning how to interact with one another.
