Playgroups are at the heart of AECPTA. These small, close-knit groups meet regularly at homes, parks, or play places. They’re perfect for toddlers and preschoolers to make friends, and for parents to find support and connection throughout the year.

Seasonal family parties in summer, fall, winter, and spring bring everyone together. With weekend scheduling, the whole family can enjoy activities, food, and fun traditions. These events are always a favorite for kids and parents alike.
