Toddler Connections Playgroups


Our seasoned teaching staff engages children through song, nature-based stories and activities, and free play—while families connect with the outdoors and one another.

Toddler Connections (TC) is a seasonal playgroup for children ages 15 months to 2.9 years, accompanied by a parent or other caregiver. Locations and session dates vary, see details below.

Benefits of Outdoor Playgroups

Designed by a BOPN co-founder, Toddler Connections offers little learners a safe space to explore and engage with the environment.

Your child will benefit from regular socialization with a group of peers, in the comforting presence of their parent or caregiver. Grownups enjoy time spent with an experienced early childhood educator, who serves as a resource on preschool, parenting, and more!

Toddler Connections is offered seasonally, at several BOPN locations!

Spring Enrollment is OPEN!

“In the woods and gardens that are his playgrounds,
our son has come into his own...

When we arrive in the morning it's like Cheers--everybody knows his name, and he is clearly part of a community.”

Follow the FUN!
