Discover the Joy of Child-Led Play!

Rooted in Play is thrilled to present our new initiative: Popup Playgroups. These engaging sessions provide a unique opportunity for small groups of children to immerse themselves in a world of exploration, creativity, and play.

Our Playgroups offer a more focused and intimate experience compared to our free monthly pop-ups. With a maximum of 10 children per playworker, we are able to provide personalized attention and tailored activities that cater to the specific interests and needs of each child.

Spaces are limited, so make sure to reserve your child's spot today! Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity for them to engage in child-led play!

Join us in cultivating a playful community!
