Play Group

Play groupers are like powerhouses.

They are energetic and always on the move to learn more.

Learning from every action is our basis for playgroup education.

The little explorers are primed at The Cardinal Preschool to take their next step with Play Group to learn and recognize the shapes, numbers, colors, animals, alphabets, etc.
