Families: Program from 1 to 2 years
De Speelgroep
Do you have a child between 1 and 2 years old? Would you like to do educational and fun activities with your child? Then come to de Speelgroep (‘The Playgroup’) together! You will play together and get to know other parents from the neighborhood. After twelve weeks parents and children continue together. Parents make arrangements with each other; for example at a parent’s home, in the playground or the park. And if the weather is bad, at locations of other organizations. JES employees help with finding a suitable location.
The Playgroup is there once a week, for twelve weeks. You can participate in five places in Leiden; two in Katwijk and one in Leiderdorp:
