Playgroup is a time for families (children and adults) to meet new friends, play, learn and grow. Playgroups include activities, stories, crafts, snacks, and free play. Playgroup is a great way to make new friends, meet up with old friends, and learn together. Playgroups during the school year are geared toward families with children 0-5 years old, however older children are welcome. During the summer months, school-age children often come to playgroups as well and we offer activities for the other children as well. Playgroups are held multiple times each week, please visit our program page for the current playgroup schedule.
Lakeland offers a number of services that can support families. If we are not able to provide the service needed, we work with the families to find the appropriate service and make referrals as needed.
