The Funhouse Zero – Five Playgroup a Huge Success!

Sylvia Johnson keeps busy at playgroup

All summer long, families with children age birth-to-five have been gathering at The Funhouse to play.  Children get crafty in the art yurt, engage in imaginary play, build giant block forts and participate in active play indoors and out.

Parents also get a chance to connect, share parenting stories and keep their very active toddlers and babies engaged.  The children enjoy the opportunity to socialize with each other and utilize this great facility we have here in our community.

“This is an age-group that we have been trying to get here more often, and I think we have found the right formula,” said Pete Moe, Executive Director. “It’s really thanks to our assistant director, Krista Bouchey, who has a four-year old and put the program together.”

Thanks also go to Bob and Phyllis Henigson for funding early childhood development programs at The Funhouse.

Due the significant summer participation, the Funhouse will continue the playgroup throughout the year. Children and parents will meet Tuesday mornings beginning September 7th, from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Included in the August 30th playgroup, Mary Giampetro will be offering a free demo of a Music Together class. Music Together is an internationally acclaimed music program for small children being offered this fall at The Funhouse.

The playgroup is free with a family membership.
