Return of Playspace!

Playspace returns in January

Playspace has returned to St. Mary-St. Catherine of Siena Parish for the 2014 season!  Playspace is a play group open to the entire Charlestown community, based out of the Parish on 46 Winthrop St. Playspace will open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30-11:30 a.m., beginning January 7 and ending April 17.

Playspace is for children ages 6 months to 2.9 years. The space is filled with educational toys, including centers for active play, building, trains, dramatic play, art, reading and more. There is also an area dedicated to infant play for younger children. Moms, dads, grandparents, nannies, sitters, au pairs and other caregivers must come with their children.  Please note this is not a drop-off or babysitting service. The adults responsible for the children are expected to stay and play an active role in monitoring the behavior of the children during their stay.

To ensure that the play group can cover its expenses, we need a minimum of 65 families to sign up as members. The requested donation amount to participate in Playspace is $120 per family for the program. Payment should be made payable to “St. Mary-St. Catherine of Siena.” (Credit and debit cards are not accepted.) You can mail or drop off your donation to  St. Mary-St. Catherine of Siena Parish Center at 46 Winthrop Street in Charlestown.

If you are interested in signing or if you have questions, please contact Playspace coordinator Amanda Fornash at amanda12878@yahoo.com.

To allow for an enjoyable environment for all, the Playspace will likely limit members to 100 families, so please sign up ASAP. See you in January!
