Discovery Garden Family Playgroup

Discovery Garden Family Playgroup Discovery Garden is a weekly, multi-generational family playgroup. We meet on Thursdays from 9:00 am - Noon. Discovery Garden opened on October 12, 2006.

The first hour is especially good for newcomers and children with sensory needs. Easterseals Central & Southeast Ohio, Inc. and the Chillicothe & Ross County Public Library have been our steadfast community partners. Discovery Garden is a weekly, intergenerational playgroup for young children and their families. We offer imaginative play with lots of toys, art, group games, puppet stories, and soc

ializing. Everyone is welcome! The playgroup meets September - May in our playroom at the Main Library Annex (in downtown Chillicothe). During June and July, we play in Yoctangee Park at the Heilman Shelter. We're closed in August. No registration is necessary. Always Free.

KINDERGARTEN READINESS STARTS WITH JOY, NOT PRESSURE.
As kindergarten approaches, many families are asking the same questions: Is my child ready? Can they recognize letters? Count to 100? Read a few words? But true readiness extends beyond letters and numbers to include curiosity, confidence, self-regulation, and a love of learning. Research continues to show that children thrive when they enter kindergarten feeling confident, curious, connected, and eager to learn. Would you say your child is ready for joy?
