Learning is Child's Play

Quality Play is a playgroup for parents and caregivers, and young children. Quality Play is facilitated by an early education specialist and is a program of Quality Care for Children.

Each week has a different theme:

  • Active physical play

  • Math and manipulatives
  • Music and movement
