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.
