General Playgroup Information
The Resource Exchange/ Early Intervention Colorado offers supports and services to children with developmental delays who are birth to three years of age and their families. Therapy services are part of a federal program, one of the support services we offer is the weekly infant/toddler playgroups through out Teller and Park County for the last 10 years. This is an inclusive program open to the entire community.
We pride ourselves in a play-based, developmentally appropriate program that meets the needs of infants and toddlers within a natural environment. This program, in collaboration with children’s families, helps enhance all domains of development with respect for the racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of all of our families. The playgroups have been formed to connect families together and encourage relationships within your own community.
Playgroup sessions are thematically designed to intrigue and inspire you and your children and help them to learn. Monthly calendars are provided to the families with a current listing of planned activities and scheduled field trips.
The sessions are planned with interaction-focused activities where you and your child are central to the play. The environment is set up for you and the facilitators to actively play and explore along with the children and encourages communication between children and adults within play.
What does a normal day look like? We start our day with arts & crafts and a sensory activity. The sensory activity could be the water table, rice table, snow table, playdough or finger painting. If your child is not interested in the arts & crafts area we have lots of play activities set up. Depending on which playgroup, after the first hour we have group clean up and story/snack time followed by circle time singing.
This playgroup is a collaboration between TRE and other agencies that allow us to hold playgroup in their facilities. Our organization provides an educational curriculum, to the instructors through our Parent Liaison, as well as providing the facilitator for the children birth to three years who attend. We are financially supported through grants that we apply for yearly.
