DSSN runs the Upside Down Playgroup. It is for children with DS age six and younger and their families (siblings included). The format is free play time, circle time for the children, then question and answer time for parents. Snacks and beverages are provided. The group meets every fourth Saturday of the month, excepting December, July, and August. The meetings alternate between the Vancouver and North Vancouver IDP offices. |
