Epworth playgroups happen in North Berkeley at the Methodist Church for new parents and toddlers. Not religious, all families are welcome.
Though I’ve never been, I’ve only heard good things about these groups from my moms’ group buddies and strangers around town.
Each play session is two hours long for little ones from 14 months to 3 years with an accompanying caregiver. You can expect stuff like play doh, painting, puzzles, blocks, trains, ride on toys, books, music, and more fun than you can create at home by yourself.
Registration is required. Families take turns providing healthy snacks
Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.
When:
Groups are offered Mondays through Fridays from 9:30 to 11:30. Families will sign up for ONE session per week.
Where:
1953 Hopkins St, Berkeley CA 94707

I took my daughter once or twice when she was a toddler. It’s great for the winter when you don’t feel like sitting in a cold or wet park and want to get out of the house. If I were new in town or staying home with my first child, I would definitely have continued.
