Benefits of Playgroups

Playgroups help your child grow!

• Decrease Separation Anxiety

  

  Many children experience separation anxiety, a healthy and normal part of the development and secure attachment. We help parent and child separate slowly so that children learn that The POP Center is a safe and fun place to play and learn and that Mom or Dad are always close by!
  

• Socialization

  

  Children look to adults, especially parents, to model social behaviors as they grow. Group and parallel play, offered by The POP Center provide interactive moments for healthy and vital social development. The more a child experiences interactions with others, the more comfortable they become in social environments. Children are supported and comforted to foster healthy separation from parents to securely grow independent and confident.

• Learning Through Enrichment Activities

  

  At The POP Center, our play-based learning allows children, under our supervision, the opportunity for independent and group play. Our staff will follow your child's lead and encourage exploration, experimentation and imagination to encourage learning and problem-solving.
  
  Children are sponges that soak up everything their five senses pick up! The POP Center caregivers facilitate learning by organizing developmentally appropriate activities for each age group. Sessions include activities that encourage:

  • Language Skills through storytime, songs, music and puppets
    ‍
  • Fine Motor Skills with blocks, puzzles, playdoh, chalk, painting and coloring
    ‍
  • Gross Motor Skills with climbing, sliding and walking
    ‍
  • Imagination and Creativity through pretend play
    ‍
  • Socialization with parallel play, taking turns and group meals

  ‍

• Community

  

  Whether you've just had your first child or are a seasoned veteran of parenthood, you know that it truly takes a village to raise a child. The community at The POP Center has proven to be invaluable as a place to connect with other parents to talk through the highs and lows of parenthood. Our members have expressed time and time again that the networking and relationships they've developed at The POP Center are one of the greatest benefits they weren't expecting to have!
