5:00 PM - 8:00 PM	Grow Together Play Club Grades: 4-8 - Play Club Mailing List At the Grow Together Play Club, unstructured time proves to be a powerful engine for development. When kids play freely, they're building essential life skills. Mixed-age environments naturally encourage social growth, teaching kids cooperation, empathy, and leadership as older children mentor younger ones. Self-directed activities sharpen problem-solving and critical thinking while boosting creativity and imagination. Crucially, it develops the independence to make decisions and learn emotional regulation in a low-stress setting. Ultimately, "just playing" is how your children learn to be resilient, confident, and successful friends.Please sign up for the mailing list for direct information about all upcoming programs. As information becomes available, register for activities you are interested in joining.
