Play Groups offers free play time for children birth to age five and fellowship for their moms, dads, grandparents, or caregivers. Registration is not required in advance, and we encourage Parkside families to invite friends to come.

Play Groups is offered WEEKLY on TUESDAYS from 10:00-11:30am. Exceptions to this schedule will be during the holidays and summertime, as Play Groups only meets during the school year. Play Groups meets on the main level of the Children's Wing.

We will send reminder emails out out at the beginning of each month or for a weather cancellation. If you would like to be added to our Play Groups email distribution list, please email us.
