We heart Baby Playgroup!


momstown Milton
loves a good playgroup - or better said - mama playgroup! When the babies are little like they are on Monday mornings, the "playgroup" is as more for the moms to connect than for the wee ones.
Bring a coffee and your baby (in a bucket seat!) and join us every Monday morning! Sometimes we arrange speakers to visit but most of the time it's a relaxed time with other moms (and babies!) like you.

(Curious about joining us? New members get a free 2 week trial so if you'd like to sign up and come out to an event like this to see what momstown is like, please feel free! Visit the Milton site here and click on Register)

Funtime Saturdays: working mom playgroups

The first tough transition all moms go through is obviously, bringing home a brand new baby and navigating through all the new things that accompany that new little life.

The second hardest transition is going back to work after a great year of maternity leave. momstown hears this so often, you're a parent first but once back at work you feel cut off from the motherhood world.

momstown Milton has set up a bi-weekly playgroup just to suit this need. It's inclusive, it's not just for working mamas, but it's an opportunity to re-strengthen those ties with other moms like you had when you were "off". We're always just a keyboard stroke away, and we have many mama nights out but we know you're craving mom & child time with your old pals.

Every other Saturday we've scheduled time for you and your little ones to join from 10-11:30. Once a month it's a field trip type outing and once a month it's in a member's home for a more relaxed playdate.

Looking forward to funtime Saturdays together!

Jungle Books, Safari Hats and More

momstown Milton's babies, tots and moms gathered at Lowville Park for our celebrated monthly book club. Everyone enjoyed listening to Jan Brett's The Umbrella and Marianne Berkes' Over in the Jungle: a Rainforest Rhyme.

Keeping with July's jungle theme, wee ones and their moms created fantastic safari hats and binoculars, using paper plates, bowls and toilet paper rolls.









What do you think of these?
