Neighborhood Parenting Program of By My Side554

I just brought my children for the first time and I loved the relaxed atmosphere! Ms.Terri is great with the children and all of the parents help out. A nice way to spend a couple of hours with the kids.

I attended the Tuesday evening NPP playgroup last week on October 13th, 2009. I liked the structure of the group. It began with free play time, then a craft, then a circle time for songs and movement activities, then a snack, then a few more minutes of playtime. The playroom itself has a diverse array of toys, like cars, a little slide, kitchen set, dolls, crawl tents, wooden puzzles, and so on. The snack menu was impressive too, they distributed pretzels, a baby cup of vanilla yogurt, grapes, and a baby cup of juice. I think this group is a great resource for parents looking to engage their toddler(s) in preschool preparatory activities and begin early socialization. I will definately be attending the group for my second visit this evening, October 20th.

My kids and I both loved going to NPP playgroups. They were a fun way to meet other families.

We've been attending since my 4 year old was 3 weeks old. Great sharing, community, fun! I've met many of my friends in this group. Especially good when you've got your first child and want a community to learn as a parent. Moms, Dads, and grandparents attend.
