The Saanich Neighbourhood Place Drop-in Playgroup set up at our Broad View United location. The image includes play cars, books, and various toys.
Saanich Neighbourhood Place (SNP) offers a range of drop-in play times for little people and their grown-ups. These are fun opportunities for children and their adults to play together in a relaxed social setting, meet other folks in the community and maybe learn a new song or story too. Facilitated by SNP staff, students and volunteers, they are also a great way to learn more about other services available in Saanich and neighbouring communities. A range of sessions are offered at the Pearkes Recreation Centre, the SNP Child and Family Centre, and Broad View United. (No programs running in the Child and Family Centre this summer) 
​
There is no charge to attend any of our Drop-In Playgroups, and all groups are open to children up to three years of age and/or up to five years of age, and their grown-ups. Please check the calendar for specific days and times, and use the buttons below to register, just so we have an idea of how many visitors to expect and notify you of any unexpected program cancellation. See you soon!  *registration is required for every new calendar season. You do not have to register for every session.
