Through Play & Learn of East Central Iowa, caregivers will learn that they don’t need fancy toys or equipment or degrees in child development to make a positive difference. Play and Learn of East Central Iowa is an organized play group for young children (0-5 years old) and the people who take care of them – their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, other family members and family friends. Each group has a facilitator that plans and sets up activities for the children and their caregivers to play together.
