Mission: 

DOTtots Playgroup:
Parents and caregivers of children under 5 are invited and encouraged to attend this weekly neighborhood playgroup. It is a great opportunity to connect with other local parents and give your child(ren) an opportunity to socialize with other youngsters. Come for support, conversation, even snacks! We have toys and equipment for children from birth to preschool and everyone is welcome.

Time and Location:
The playgroup meets every Thursday from 9:30-11:30 A.M. in Dunn Hall at Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Parish on Columbia Road (at the intersection of Dorchester Ave. and Columbia Road, near the JFK T Station.) Enter the door from the back parking lot and go down to Dunn Hall. There is an elevator for wheelchair and stroller access. Playgroup will not be held when BPS are closed due to inclement weather or other city-wide emergency. We will meet on our regular day during school vacations and summer. Older siblings are welcome at these times.

The Group:
The playgroup is cooperatively run by the parents involved, with everyone taking joint responsibility for all tasks (providing snacks, maintaining the space, equipment, and supplies, planning special events, etc.) Attendance is free and open to everyone.

Note:
For the health and safety of everyone, please do not attend if you or your child/ren are experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness beyond a mild cold. It is a friendly group and EVERYTHING is shared.

Thank You:
Special thanks to the BMT Parish for generously allowing us to use their space each week and to continue to store our supplies and equipment. We would not be able to offer this program without their support.
