NOW starting
playgroup
Northeast Opportunities for Wellness, Inc. is starting a new Preschool Power Hour Playgroup program in partnership with the Putnam Public Library.
This is a weekly playgroup starting in March. There are two separate groups: from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Tuesdays or from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursdays. Registration is limited and required. Go to: www.NOWinMotion.org/events.
This program was designed as a playgroup to pair senior citizens with toddler age children to cultivate meaningful bonds. The seniors for this program have been carefully selected, background checked, and will be paired with a toddler. Evidence has shown the significant impact on wellbeing when seniors and toddlers are paired together in a prosocial, educational, and purposeful environment.
Each playgroup will start with seniors and toddlers reading a fun and educational story selected by the Putnam Public Library staff. Following the story NOW staff will work on movement skills, basic fundamentals of sports, fitness games, fine and gross motor skills, and agility. The staff will use a combination of obstacle course equipment, arts and crafts, sports, sensory play, critical thinking games, and more.
