Our Spanish Playgroup is an incredible parent-led playgroup, where each week parents and kids can gather in a fun & friendly environment where we encourage Spanish language! We read books and sing in Spanish, and the playgroup is a safe environment for everybody. This is a place for families to communicate and immerse their children in their native language and feel accepted, and for families that are learning Spanish to be able to improve their Spanish language skills. Together we all work to create a happy and positive atmosphere through communication and caring for one another.
