Weekly meet-ups are 1.5 hours long and include a singing circle and plenty of playtime for the children and adults. The goal of this pre-school pod is to build relationships and establish a learning community for next year. Adult participation is key in establishing this type of learning community.
It has worked in the past to wait until I have 10 or so families to join and then pick the date, time and location that works best for the majority interested.
