WHAT IS PLAY & LEARN?
Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups are free adult-child groups for families of children 3 months to 5 years old. Activities include singing songs, stories, art, outdoor play, puppet shows, and crafts.
As long as Asheville City Schools is operating virtually due to COVID, Play & Learn will be as well. Groups receive emails Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays filled with activities, readalouds, videos, games, printables, etc, with occasional activity bag pickups. To join the list, email Grace Ragaller for 3-35 month old groups at grace.ragaller@asheville.k12.nc.us or Marna Holland, Ed.D., at marna.holland@acsgmail.net for 3-5 yrs old.
