Bloom & Play Playgroup

A playgroup that grows with your child…

Wednesdays · 9:30–10:15 AM
Fall Session 1: September 10 – October 8
Fall Session 2: October 22 – November 19
Only 10 child + caregiver spots per session

This isn’t your typical drop-in circle. Bloom & Play is a warm, 45-minute, small-group experience led by a licensed early childhood educator—designed to nurture connection, curiosity, and early learning through play!

Each Session Includes:

  • Sensory Play – to support growing brains and curious hands

  • Light Table Exploration – a magical and engaging tool for discovery

  • Circle Time – with songs, stories, and movement

  • Tailored Curriculum – activities evolve as we get to know your child’s interests and needs

Unlike larger, impersonal groups, Bloom & Play is intimate and relationship-focused—giving both you and your child the space to connect, engage, and grow together.

Why Families Love Bloom & Play

  • A calm, welcoming environment with just 10 spots per session

  • Developmentally rich activities that feel like play (because they are!)

  • A chance to bond with your child and connect with other caregivers

  • Guided by an educator who sees, supports, and celebrates your child’s unique self
