Tuesday morning playgroup

One of my resolutions for this year was to make friends in LeRoy. I've made great friends in Bloomington and Champaign since we moved here 6 years ago, but haven't had any luck locally. So I am officially "Making an Effort".

Part of "Making an Effort" has been to engage with LeRoy people on teh Twitter and attend Tuesday morning playgroup at LeRoy Elementary School. Anyone can attend playgroup with their age five or younger child. Most of the children are 2-3 years old, but there are a few babies and a few preschoolers.

Playgroup is free and meets from 10-11 every Tuesday that school is in session. You just arrive at the front door and tell the office your last name and that you are there for playgroup. Playgroup meets in the basement and the stairs are 3/4 toward the rear of the school.

There are two parent educators who run playgroup, but mostly it's Ms. Jackie who is leading. Ms. Jackie is great with the children and is a resource for the parents. You can ask her ANYTHING about your child. She's super supportive and knowledgable.

I have been taking Quinn to playgroup since the beginning of the year and we both really enjoy it. I get a chance to talk to other adults (moms, dads, and grandparents attend) and Quinn gets to play with new toys. So far there have been between 4 and 16 children attending.

Do you want to see pictures of the fantastic playroom? Of course you do.
