As winter approaches, families in Livingston County have a delightful opportunity to engage and connect through a series of enriching playdates. Great Start Livingston is thrilled to host the Winter 2026 Playdates, designed specifically for young children aged 0–5 and their caregivers.
These events are crafted to offer a nurturing environment where children can play, explore, and learn, while adults can tap into valuable community resources and establish meaningful connections with local partners.
What to Expect
Participants can look forward to:
-
Interactive play sessions that encourage social interaction and physical engagement
-
Opportunities to connect with community resources and partner organizations
-
A complimentary book and snack for each child, available while supplies last
-
FREE STEAM kits for home use, offered to the first 50 families with children aged 3–5
These playdates are open to the public at no cost, and no prior registration is required.
