Playgroups Offered

Thom Worcester Area Early Intervention offers developmentally appropriate groups and activities for infants and toddlers. Many groups offer parent to parent support and opportunities for parents to consult with Early Intervention staff regarding their child’s development. Groups meet one time per week. Most groups are attended by a parent or caregiver and child, some are attended by the child or parent(s) only. Our groups are held at our program site, located in the Glavin Center in Shrewsbury, or in community locations including the Worcester YMCA.

Parent/Infant Groups are designed for children who are between 6 – 15 months old and their parent or primary caregiver. We also offer two different toddler groups. The first, for younger toddlers ages 12 – 24 months, focuses on exploratory play appropriate for this younger set. Older toddlers, ages 18 – 36 months, are welcome to join our toddler groups designed just for them. Many of our older toddler groups also offer a concurrent parent support component. Please speak with your service coordinator or call our office for more details.
