Debra Wonson, Executive Director of St. Stephen’s Nusery School explains that “Playgroups provide an ideal environment for fostering children’s development through play”. Each playgroup combines music and movement, arts and crafts, fine and gross motor activities, open play, sensory experiences and more!


“Children will have fun and make friends, play and engage with and among other children, participate in new play experiences, respond to other adults, learn simple rules and routines, enhance their social and communication skills, practice fine and gross motor skills
