Sing and Play for Young Children Starts March 6

By Kathi Ciskowski

Attention parents (moms, dads, and even grandparents), with 18 month to 3 year old children! Enjoy the invigoration of the spring, meet other parents, and let your youngster have the experience of a developmentally appropriate social group while still hovering under your protective wings.

Beginning from 10-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 6 and ending on Tuesday, April 10 the playgroup will gather at the home of Jude Nash in Victorian Valley.  Activities will include a circle and song time, indoor socializing, outdoor play, bread baking and eating during a shared snack. The schedule of each session remains unvaried so that the child will be able to anticipate each activity, allowing him/her to participate with increasing confidence and anticipation each week. Parents can share parenting questions; children can play and observe other children. The playgroup format is based on the Waldorf School tradition.

Kathi Ciskowski will facilitate the group; she has coordinated playgroups on Orcas Island since 1991 and many of the various alumni (both parents and children) began their friendships during parent and toddler playgroup time.

Enrollment is limited and pre-registration by March 4 is required. Tuition for the six week session is $60.  For more information or to register contact:
