Playgroups
The MOMS Club® encourages you to join one of our playgroups. They are one of the greatest benefits of our club. It is a great way to get better acquainted with other MOMS Club® members, an an excellent way for your children to forge lasting friendships. Currently, our club offers two different playgroup experiences for members to choose from. Many members utilize both types!
Weekly Playgroups!
These are traditional playgroups, generally formed based upon children's birthdates. They are usually held once a week and rotate between each playgroup member's home. The Chapter Playgroup Coordinator organizes playgroups and admits new members into playgroups. Playgroups may also choose activities for the entire club to be put on the monthly calendar. Each playgroup has a Playgroup Leader who coordinates scheduling and maintains contact with the Chapter Playgroup Coordinator.
If you would like to join a playgroup, please contact the Chapter Playgroup Coordinator and she will work to find you a playgroup that is appropriate for your child's age. She will also put you in contact with the Playgroup Leader.
If we currently don't have an appropriate playgroup for you or the one you are in no longer works out, the Chapter Playgroup Coordinator will work to start a new one for you. *If this is the case, please don't be discouraged. We have several members joining all the time and new playgroups tend to form quickly.
Our MOMS and Munchkins monthly business meeting, as well as monthly open playgroups, are wonderful ways to meet other moms & kids! We encourage you to attend those, too!
Monthly Open Playgroups!
Since not all of our moms have the availability or desire to join weekly playgroups (and in order to discourage tight "clicques" from forming in a club of our size), our club has implemented open playgroups as a great way to meet other members in a small, more casual setting (often in member homes). Anyone in our club is welcome to attend these days, based on the numbers determined by that month's hostess.
We try and have three age specific open playgroups each month: 18 months and under, 1.5-3 years, and 3& up. Other aged siblings are always welcome to come, though we try and gear any themed activities toward the listed age!
Past open playgroup themes have included a tomato planting party, Valentine's party, Easter egg hunt, and Earth Day celebration.
