Five separate Community Playgroups are held at Thom Neponset Valley
Early Intervention Center, from 8:45-10:45 AM and from 11:15 –
1:15 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. These groups are open
to residents of any of the communities served by Thom Neponset Valley
EI and include children from the community as well as children receiving
EI services.
Toddlers who participate in these groups learn to socialize with
other children, to explore their environment, and to see how others
play and learn.
Two different Community Playgroups, held at Thom Neponset
Valley Early Intervention Center, offer older toddlers the opportunity
to participate in group two times each week. The groups meet on
Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:45 AM – 11:45 AM. These groups
are open to residents of any of the communities served by Thom Neponset
Valley EI and include children from the community as well as children
receiving EI services.
Toddler Times II groups offer a more structured classroom environment
geared at preparing children for preschool programs. Separation
from parents or primary caregivers is expected for all participants.
Currently Thom Neponset Valley EI offers a parent/child playgroup
at St. Timothy’s Parish Center in Norwood. The group meets
on Friday mornings from 9:30-11:30 AM. The group welcomes children
who are EI eligible and children from the community who are between
the ages of 15 months and 4 years old. Although there is no charge
for participation in this group, donations are always appreciated.
