PLAYING WITH PURPOSE
​Adding WEDNESDAYs at 10:30am through April 30th and June 4th-June 25th
 AGES 0-5 with caregiver, inside the Great Ponds Gallery


Playing with Purpose is designed to help parents/caregivers gain a better understanding of the importance of play and learn how to be active participants in this important work. Play stations are set up to allow for one-on-one time as well as to work on fine and gross motor skills and socialization. During each session parents and/or caregivers are given relevant materials and articles on how to continue to support and build on these concepts at home. Parents/caregivers are then encouraged to use the items shared to “Play with Purpose” with their children.
