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!

Common Questions

What is your ratio of playgroup supervisors to kids?
We usually stick to a 10:1 ratio with an appropriate mix of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. This model is great because it allows siblings to stay together and allows younger children to be entertained by and learn from older children!

Each location has 2 - 3 playgroups and has 1 - 2 floating supervisors that can move between the groups as needed. Because parents are on site at all times, we are exempt from EEC licensing, and therefore, do not have required ratios to adhere to. That being said, we still make safe and common sense decisions when it comes to filling out our playgroups.
What does a day at The POP Center look like for an infant?
An infant stays very stimulated in playgroup! In all of our playrooms we have activity bouncers and infant toys to stimulate your infant's brain, soft mats for your infant to get tummy and head control work. Our playgroup supervisors hold each child throughout the day for a significant period of time to give each infant nurture and care and eye contact. Your infant is on your schedule.

Our staff can put them down for a nap in our infant sleeping rooms where your infant will have their own emergency evacuation crib, and you can come in and change diapers and feed as you need to keep your infant on their schedule. We do have private nursing stations available.
What is your max playgroup size?
We strive to keep our ratios to 1 playgroup supervisor to 10 children and no more than 4 infants in one group. We do not take more than 40 kids total in our center, and we break up into multiple groups.
Do I need to diaper my own child?
Yes, we encourage parents who are doing Work 'N Play to check in their child freshly diapered to optimize their experience with our program. Diaper alerts are expected to be responded to within 15 minutes of receiving it, allowing parents to reach a natural stopping point in their work in order to diaper their child.

We have plenty of diaper changing stations throughout our facilities. Children who are potty-trained will also need to be escorted to the bathroom by their guardians as our playgroup supervisors do not enter the bathroom with children. Given the circumstances, bathroom alerts for toilet-trained children should be responded to promptly to avoid accidents.
