Recurring Playgroups

  

St. John’s on the Lake is our most established partnership and Eastcastle is our newest inter-generational playgroup spot! The playgroups we host give children a true inter-generational experience while learning patience, kindness, and how to make new friends.  Our friends at Saint John’s and Eastcastle benefit tremendously from the interaction with our children. It’s a win-win!

PURPOSE: To give an opportunity to children, parents, and assisted living residents to interact and play with each other in a relaxed, friendly, playful, organized environment. (Promise, our organization and structure only enhances the fun!)

IMPACT: Children will develop awareness of and relationships with members of the community they would otherwise not meet. Residents in the assisted living facility will have a chance to be around our energetic and humorous cutie-pies and offer their love and gentle care for them.

This event will be held on the south side of Milwaukee.  At the home of Leslie Osborn who is the former children’s pastor from Eastbrook Church, and currently works with refugee-status families.
