Pre-school Playgroup




In the United Kingdom, since around the 1980s, the traditionally territory of the playgroup has been encroached on by the expansion of more formal nursery education, and playgroups often now cater only for two and three year olds before they move onto a nursery school. Over the same period there has been an increase in the state supervision of playgroups.


PLAYGROUPS IN THE US

In the United States, a playgroup is a loose-knit organization of parents with the expressed intent to have the children come together and play. There are playgroups that cater to a group of Stay At Home Dad (s) and/or Stay At Home Mothers or both. These can be part of local or even national playgroups. There is not usually an upper age limit, sometimes older children come along with their younger siblings.
