PLAYGROUP

The MOMS group of Oakwood welcomes you to join our playgroup.  Participate in lots of fun, activities, songs, snacks and adult conversation!  It’s a wonderful way to make new friends for moms, kids and babies!

Playgroup is free and open to children ages 0 – 6.  The group meets on Tuesdays from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. at the Oakwood Community Center (downstairs in the Teen Center).  Volunteers, on a rotating basis, provide activities (with the help of the coordinators, if needed) and refreshments.  Clean up is everyone’s responsibility.  An adult must accompany children.

For more information or questions, please feel free to call:  Ann Case (296-9211) or Susan Nielson (293-2853) ~ playgroup coordinators.
