The purpose of a playgroup is for the moms to get to know each other while our children play. Our goal is that our relationships will deepen and make a stronger bond within the larger MOMS Club group.
How large are the playgroups?
Ideally the playgroups remain small to help cultivate a more intimate relationship among their members. Playgroups will be capped at eight members. In the event that a playgroup reachers six to eight members, a new playgroup will be formed to accommodate new memebrs with children in that age range. This insures that groups are small enough to be personal, yet large enough that if someone can't make it, there are still enough to participate.
What are the ages of the playgroups?
Most playgroups have a six month age spread or less. In some cases there are larger age spreads, but we attmept to keep children together with their age mates as much as possible.
How often do the playgroups meet?
Each playgroup sets its own schedule. The options are to meet weekly or biweekly depending on the needs of the members. Most playgroup meet weekly for about two hours. If your playgroup falls on a day where there is a MOMS Club activity planned, members will vote on whether or not to cancel playgroup.
Where do the playgroups meet?
Playgroups have the option of meeting at a number of different locations. Some playgroups meet at their own houses, but some choose to meet at local parks or even go out to lunch or hit the mall. Once playgroups and contact people are established, the group will decide the rotation schedule.
Can I visit a playgroup before I join the club?
For liability purposes, non-members are not allowed to attend events at members' house's and also are not allowed to attend playgroups. Our Membership VP can fuill you in on any questons you have regarding playgroups.
Where do I go if I have other questions about my playgroup?
Each playgroup will have a playgroup leader. They will be in charge of their group, which means keeping the playgroup coordinator informed of their meeting day and time; being the one that the members get in touch with for any questions concerning their playgroup; and maintaining an up to date playgroup contact list for the playgroup members. You are also always welcome to contact the playgroup coordinator or the Membership Vice President with any questions or concerns about playgroups.
