Play Pals - A Great Way to Learn and Play!

Bella Monroe, daughter of Dr. Stephanie and Joe Monroe, explores at a recent session of Play Pals Gym’s Tiny Pals.

Area parents, grandparents and caregivers of young children  -- join the upcoming sessions of Play Pals, a long-standing developmental program for young children.

Located on the campus of Saint Clare’s Hospital, Play Pals features child-friendly atmosphere that is colorful and filled with various equipment for babies and young toddlers. Group activities included in the Play Pals sessions provide interaction with other children in the same age, music, singing, rhythm and circle activities.

“By starting children during their early years, we are able to take advantage of critical learning periods by matching activities with the appropriate developmental skills,” says Amy Monahan, Play Pals Coordinator.

“Play Pals encourages exploration and provides experiences to stimulate the child’s senses of vision, hearing, touching and most of all, moving. Classes are challenging and a fun way to use a child’s boundless energy and imagination.”

Classes for three different age groups are forming; Tiny Pals is for children 6 to 12 months old; Mini Pals is for children 12 to 24 months; and Motor Pals is for 2 and 3 year-olds, up to age 4.

Various day sessions are available with a fee of $35, for six weeks; or $25 for four weeks.
