Playgroup
Playgroup is a weekly gathering for parents and their little ones (Birth–Preschool), meeting Mondays from 9:30–11:30 AM. Each week this fall we’ll meet at various outdoor locations around Peterborough for play, connection, and simple group activities; in case of rain or poor weather, we’ll meet at Pathway Church. For the privacy and safety of families, off-site locations are shared directly by email. For details, or to receive the location, email playgroup@pathwaylife.com.
