A number of informal playgroups for infants and toddlers and their carers meet on a weekly basis. Read on for details of when and where they meet.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many public places, parks and playgroups have been forced to close, change locations or reschedule activities for a later date.

A number of playgroups for toddlers and teenagers meet on a weekly basis. The South Sound Community Centre Playgroup is a volunteer-based organisation which provides a much-needed service for parents. They meet from 9.30am-11.30am every Monday morning throughout the year. All children, from a few days old to five years, are welcome so long as they are accompanied by an adult. The cost is CI$8 per family which includes access to numerous toys, a craft activity and light refreshments.
Please note that, as the South Sound Community Centre is currently being used as a COVID-19 Testing Facility, the location where the playgroup meets is subject to change weekly.
