The weekly playgroup is a unique opportunity for fathers to build positive and strong relationships with their children in a learning environment that is relaxed and fun. A key component of the playgroup is the dinner that is served each week giving fathers and children an have opportunity to socialize with other families and to learn about the importance of family meal times.
