We are excited to announce the return of Preschool Story Time and Play Groups this fall! Learn more about when we will be meeting and what to expect.

Preschool Story Time: for children ages 2-1/2 to 5 years old with their caregivers

• Meeting on the 1st/3rd Tuesdays of the month in the main floor of the Children's Wing from 10:30-11:30am
• Our first date is September 21.
• For planning purposes, registration will be required and a link to register will be sent to families the week prior to each Story Time.
• Initially, we do not plan to have capacity limits, but we may need to be flexible about this, depending on COVID.

Play Groups:  for children ages birth-5 years old with their caregivers

• Meeting on the 2nd/4th Tuesdays of the month in the main floor of the Children's Wing from 10:30-noon.
• Our first date is September 28.
• Initially, registration will NOT be required, but we may need to be flexible about this, depending on COVID
• Pack a lunch if you would like to stay and extend the fun. "Lunch Bunch" will be in A113.

For both Play Groups and Preschool Story Time, entrance to the Children's Wing is through the portico door C2. Because our building is used by a school, the doors are only unlocked at 10:25am when Parkside staff is there to greet families, so we ask that you not arrive earlier than this. We also kindly ask parents to exit the Children's Wing when our event times end.

In regard to Parkside Church COVID policies: currently, there are no mask or physical distancing mandates for churches/religious organizations in Ohio. We encourage caregivers to wear a mask if they would prefer and be more comfortable doing so.

If you attended Preschool Story Time in 2020-21, you are already on our email list. If you participated in Play Groups in 2020, you are on our list, too, and will receive updates! If you would like to be added to either group email, please email Mandy McClendon.  

We look forward to seeing many young families at these events this fall!
