Circle Playtime Pre-Shule Playgroup
Interested in connecting with other young progressive Jewish families? Have a child who’s not old enough for Sunday School, or who’s tagging along with an older sibling? Join Circle Playtime!
Circle Playtime is a free playgroup for families with children ages 2-5 years old. Each session includes fun age-appropriate activities, filled with music-making and storytelling related to a Jewish or social justice holiday. It is followed by open play at the nearby playground.
The program meets near Washington Square in Brookline. We will meet outside weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, we will meet on Zoom. All adult participants are required to be fully vaccinated and to wear masks. There are 14 spots available each session.
Our new Circle Playtime teacher, Anna Adler, is a professional storyteller, musician, and master teacher. You can learn more about Anna here.
