So besides Machanayim, there's Shifra Schwartz on Webster between Seton and ocean parkway speaks both yiddish and english. I currently have an English speaking 2 year old son there. There's another one on parkville between McDonald and Seton though she only has from 10 to 3. Both are small groups. My son is with 8 other children and there is an assistant too

I googled Chavie Baum. (718) 253-0052. I was very very happy with her. I would have used her for my younger kids but we moved away.

Can anyone elaborate more on Machanayim playgroup?

Reviving this old thread again because I want to know about playgroups that are open in the summertime! I'm sending to Chavi Baum and love the way she runs it but she's closed in the summer.

Any recommendations for a small, not too 'commercial' playgroup in kensington area or nearby that you know runs in the summer?

She is the only one that I know of in the whole neighborhood, there's a real shortage of playgroups.

Anon because of location

There is a Seidenfeld on East 2nd between Ditmas and F, a clean, warm, loving mother and home. I am not sure if she babysits or has a playgroup. You can try to call. Good Luck

Where is Chanie Pliss located?

Well, Chanie Pliss says she's not sure yet if she's accepted 2 year olds. Do you have Seidenfeld's number?

Oh and the funniest thing happened to me today. I was walking my DD home from playgroup, and a lady with a fifteen passenger van calls after me on the street. She asks me if I'm looking for a playgroup, and I say 'Um, yes I happen to be looking for a summer playgroup." So we're just standing there discussing location and I'm very aware of the three cars waiting patiently behind her so asked her for her number just as the cars started to honk. LOL.

So. Anyone heard of Morah Mommy's playgroup? In Seton Ave Kensington area?

I send my child to Morah Faigy on Parkville Ave. bet ocean pkwy and Seton. Always comes home so happy! at times I had to pick up at different times during the day and the kids were always busy with something; arts n crafts, excersize, reading time, or just playtime, they were always just happy! when they fell or got a boo-boo morah gave them a kiss and all of a sudden their pain was gone and went away smiling. It also worked out great for me cuz my child needed a nap but also needed structure, was very good with nap time as well..

she takes 18-24 months at the years beginning, I really recommend her 718-869-1736

So, any recommendations for summer playgroups? Preferably small, backyard style camps that are fine with 2 year olds, in the kensington area? I keep hearing that there are 'tons' of them in the Ave F area, yet no one can give me a name or number. Lol.

Bumping up this old thread because this year I'm looking for a day camp/playgroup for 3 year olds. I need a playgroup for next year as well as a summer playgroup. Any suggestions?
