For Parents and Caregivers
Parent Networking
As the kids play, you’ll enjoy the chance to talk with other parents and caregivers over a free cup of coffee (donated by Espresso News) and browse our Family Resource Library. Playhouse staff members are also here to listen and share information.
Lending Library for Parents and Caregivers
Our large lending library covers topics such as toilet training, sleeping, temper tantrums, nutrition, ages and stages, and discipline. You may check out two books at a time for free for two weeks. We are always accepting donations on topics related to parenting, child development, and preschool education.
Play Together Kits
We also have “Play Together kits” which are high quality toys, CDs, books, and art materials that you can check out for free. You do not have to be a Playhouse member to use these resources. Any adult may check out these materials for free!
