Toddler Connections Playgroups

Ages 15 months - 2.9 years

Toddler Connections (TC) is a seasonal playgroup for toddlers age 15 months to 2.9 years, accompanied by a parent or other caregiver. Class locations and availability vary across our sites in JP/Roslindale, Malden, Milton, Sudbury and Sherborn.  The Toddler Connections program was designed by BOPN co-founder Sara Murray, and is led by seasoned teaching staff. Families connect with the outdoors and one another, while learning about nature-based early childhood education. We engage children through song, nature-based stories and activities, and free play.

Benefits of Outdoor Playgroups

Toddler Connections offers little learners a safe space to explore and engage with the environment.

Your child will benefit from regular socialization with a group of peers in the comforting presence of their parent or caregiver. Parents appreciate spending time with an experienced educator, who serves as a resource regarding preschool, parenting, and more!

our son has come into his own...

When we arrive in the morning it's like Cheers--everybody knows his name, and he is clearly part of a community.”
