This eight-week early childhood play program provides children with and without intellectual disabilities the same opportunities to advance in core developmental milestones through fun activities. Through play, children develop important skills for learning, like sharing, taking turns, and following directions.

 

Parents and caregivers, please expect to stay with your children during the program.

 

**Registration is not required, but it will help us know how many people plan to attend. You can reach the Bellevue Library at (202) 243-1185.*
