Playgroups

​Sierra Nevada Children's Services (SNCS) offers free or low-cost playgroups and workshops with hands-on activities for children, parents, and caregivers. A trained facilitator guides parents on the value of interactive play with their infants and toddlers. Activities include social development and skills, language, fine motor, gross motor, creative expression, nutrition, and developing curiosity and wonder.

Learning Center

​The Learning Center in Grass Valley includes a Resource Library and Play Space that is open to the public when not in use. Parents and providers can become members of the lending library and borrow a variety of developmentally appropriate toys and materials for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school age children, and children with special need. SNCS also offers Child Development Lending Libraries at the Truckee and Loyalton office locations. Please call these locations first to check availability.
