DSNMC Playgroups

Great for playtime, conversation and support!  Join us for informal gatherings of parents and children.  Join the fun, and join a Playgroup.  We have three groups currently formed for children ages birth to four years old.  Please contact Lisa Annulis at 301-231-6340 or lannuis@verizon.net if you would like more information. 

The play group for our youngest children --- ages birth to three years --- is held once a month on weekends, alternating Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Members take turns hosting in their homes, and mothers, fathers, children, and siblings are all welcome.  It's a wonderful time to give the kids some social interaction, exchange information with other parents, and provide support for one another.

The schedule for the next few months is below.  If you would like to join us, please contact Geri Halper (geri@dsnmc.org or call 240-446-8643). 


Saturday, May 17. 10:30am
Saturday, June 21. 10:30am (that Sunday is Father's Day, so play group is on Saturday)
Sunday, July 20. 10:30am
