Play and Learn Playgroups

Facilitated by our Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) team, our FREE, DROP-IN weekly toddler groups for children ages 12-36 months and their caregivers. We follow the Kaleidoscope Play and Learn model to stimulate social skills and brain development through age-appropriate, play-based learning experiences. Toddlers and their caregivers can make new friends while caregivers receive education and support.

For the 2026-207 school year, we offer weekly meet-ups on Tuesdays and Fridays. Our program is free, and no registration is required. Join us!

“Best school ever... We have been there for 2 years and I could not imagine a better place for my daughter."

– Theresa N.

“My son Matthew just graduated from [ParentChild+] and I can’t believe how amazing it’s been and what it’s done for him. Thank you from the depths of our hearts for seeding a love of learning in our children’s hearts and giving them tools to explore, learn, and grow in ways I had never hoped to be able to provide. You make dreams possible.”

– Stephanie M.

“My daughter LOVED this camp! She talked about all the things she learned for hours.”

"My favorite thing about Encompass is the playground. I like splashing in the mud puddles and getting wet!"

– Easton, age 3

"I feel so lucky to be involved with ParentChild+. My child is learning new words, how to count, and also his colors and shapes. He stays focused longer and he looks forward to the home visits. I am learning how to teach him all of this while we play and read with the books and toys my home visitor brings each week."

– Encompass parent

"When my son Ben started preschool, he had anxiety about being left alone. The teachers at Encompass did an amazing job helping him, and me, through that transition."
