WHAT WE DO

First, a “playgroup” is a space set up like a preschool, but with parent/caregiver participants. Afro-Play provides adult/child activities based in Afrocentrisim. Both a culturally relevant and developmentally appropriate play space for parent/caregiver & child.

“Playgroup” is for 0-5yr olds. Homeschooled 6yr olds can participate by special request. Special events/workshops are usually for all ages unless otherwise specified. Afro-Play’s intent is to serve the whole family, from the Babies to the Elders.

No. Afro-Play is a Playgroup. A space set up like preschool but where parents/caregivers must also participate. It’s FUN! (see #1 above)
