Did you know we have playgroup at the Aldrich Library in Barre on Wednesdays?

Heidi hosts playgroup in the Milne room from 10-11 a.m. & the Children’s room opens right when we end!

Child-led free play, until we gather for a circle time with snacks! We have been loving counting how many friends attended playgroup, practicing everyone’s names in our goodbye song, reading a story, and playing Clickety Clack at the end!

Hope you’ll join us next week!

What We Do

For Children

Child development is a process that involves learning and mastering skills like sitting, walking, talking, skipping, and tying shoes.

For Youth

Positive youth development services engage young people in intentional, productive, and constructive ways, while recognizing and enhancing their strengths.

For Families

All families should have access to economic and parenting supports to ensure all children have nurturing and stable relationships with caring adults.

Take Action

Every year, Vermont saves $2,131,041 when each of Vermont’s 15 Parent Child Centers prevents:

  • One woman from entering a correctional facility;
  • One teen pregnancy.
  • One child from needing foster care placement; and
  • One mother and child from requiring public assistance.
