The toddler group and the school age group are meeting together and having a wonderful time! Join us for a fun-filled morning of play and sharing!

All Ages Playgroup 10-11:30 AM

  • Saturday, June 21st

We will meet on the  third Saturday of every month at Center Church in South Hadley, hosted by  Emily Mulder. Emily is a mom of a 9 year old child with Down syndrome (Amos),  a former special education teacher, and a huge fan of Center Church.

We will meet in the fellowship  hall there from 10 to 11:30 am. The fellowship hall  is a large gym like area, which is handicapped accessible through the  entrance on the north side of the church. There are elevators to the  restrooms. We will have several different activity stations set up in the  fellowship hall, including a puppet area, an art area, and an area for  younger children with toys appropriate to that age group, and a dance area.  We ask that parents stay, both to enjoy watching children and to connect with  one another. Families who have children with Down syndrome of different age  group groups are very welcome to attend.

The meeting place is located at 1 Church Street in South  Hadley. Please reply to Emily Mulder at emilymulder@gmail.com or Anna O'Rourke at afyorourke@gmail.com with questions, or RSVP for attendance.  You can reach Emily at emilymulder@gmail.com, or at  802-282-7790.
