Here in NM, there is a program ran by the state and anyone can go, I believe
it's by parks and Rec, but you have to be potty trained. There you take the
kids for half a day and they have indoor play and outdoor play, art, snack,
drawing and when the kids get a little older, field trips and start up for
school. V

If ou are on a low-income situation, you can also try early head Start. We
do that, and they have BabyBuddy Group once a week. Even though Joshua just
plays near the other kids, he seems ot enjoy going. He's too young for
nursery at church. He'll be in there at eighteen months...another four
months.
