Special needs park playdates ~ where our kids can just be kids

Once again it is summer and time for our Playground group to start. This coming Saturday June 21st will be our first Playground Group of the Summer!

Join us for fun mornings of sharing and support. 
Meet other parents and families.
Relax while your child enjoys the outdoors and plays with new friends

*Please note the park we are meeting at, and meeting time, has changed, so read the instructions below carefully.

   All abilities welcome. 

 

    All kids need down time, especially those who spend hours of their week in a variety of therapies. However, often, parents find that helping our children navigate playstructures and social interaction can lead to awkward situations. Park playdates don't have to be stressful. Join us each Saturday morning at 1.p.m-3pm at in Canyon Trail Park, El Cerrito.

This park has a large open area grassy area for kids to play in, as well as, a lovely play structure which is fenced somewhat, but not completely. There are also pinic tables and plenty of trees for shading. Our playground group will meet as weather permitts. This means: if it is rainy, overcast, or ugly, we will not meet. However, parents can come and have their own group if they wish. However, we will not be there. So, again, this group meets only if the weather is good.

 

Bring bubbles, snacks, and lots of smiles.
