January Schedule
I am looking to create a list of people willing to host playgroup when it is located at the church. Here’s what I am proposing: One person will be designated as the leader of the month. That person will arrive at the church (on the Fridays it will be held there) a few minutes before 10am, unlock the main door, arrange the cultural hall or nursery for minimal disruption to Sunday activities, make sure everything looks the same when we’re done, and re-lock the door at departure. If you have been assigned a particular month, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement if you have a sick kid, an errand to run, a vacation, or something else.
With that being said, here’s our calendar for January:

Playgroup’s designated leader this month is: Lindsey Williams
Friday, January 4th: Trains
Meet in the Church cultural hall at 10am. Bring a train toy to share! (I know the school-aged kids will still be on break, so if you have a different idea for today’s playgroup that would help you to entertain all your children, please let me know.)
Friday, January 11th: Preschool Splash at the RiverPlex (600 NE Water Street, Peoria)
Meet at 10:00 (ends at 11:30). $3 per child over two; adults free. Parents must accompany child(ren) in the water.

October Schedule
It is that time of the year again. As the weather turns colder, it is time to compile a list of people willing to host playgroup in their home.
If you volunteer, we would come to your house to play with your toys (and clean them up!) during the regularly-scheduled playgroup time (Fridays, 10-12noon). Prior to sending the schedule out to everyone, I would check the specific date with you.
I am also looking for people interested in hosting Playgroup “parties.” These would be themed-events where you’d provide a craft, book, movie, treat or game for the children to do. Themes we have done in the past or could do include: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter/Sledding, Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Poem in Your Pocket Day, Read Across America, Easter. This would be a little more involved than just opening your toys up for the children to use, but really not too hard and super fun. If you have a holiday you are particularly excited about hosting, let me know that too.
Please email me directly (ryanandlindsey1227@hotmail.com) if you are willing to do either service sometime this winter, and I’ll get your name on the list. THANK YOU!
