Preschool Playgroup | Harmony Center for Homeschoolers

Preschool playgroup is for families who are homeschooling preschool with their kids 2-5 years old. (Babies under 2 are welcome when attending alongside an 2-5 year old enrolled sibling--no fee.)

Playgroup is not drop-off. One parent or guardian is expected to stay and actively supervise their child in the preschool room. While supervising, parents are expected to uphold the Harmony Tenets as they apply.

Playgroup is for unstructured, child-led play. Children under 5 have their own agenda and mostly prefer it anything we have planned ;). This unstructured time allows children to move at their own pace/comfort and eliminates potential "performance & participation" pressure for parents. In this space, gentle "indoor" play is expected.

The primary goal is building rapport/relationships. Many children in this age group will need time to warm-up to new friends & faces. Many will still be engaging in "parallel play." We encourage you to keep coming consistently, follow their lead, and let them participate to whatever degree of socialization they are comfortable with as they build trust and familiarity over time.

Playgroup will be from 10:00 - 11:45 on Tuesdays indoors in the preschool room at Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist where there are a variety of toys to respectfully enjoy.
