Play and Learn

Play and Learn GRCC is a collaborative, community-based partnership to enrich the quality early learning experiences of young children by strengthening the skills of early childhood caregivers and educators.

Play and Learn GRCC hosts Play and Learn groups throughout Grand Rapids at a number of community organizations – all held during different days and times. If you are a parent or caregiver of a child birth to 5 years old, join us for this free, weekly, 90-minute program to learn about child development, early reading strategies and positive discipline. While you play with your children, you’ll get great ideas of things you can do to prepare them for success. The curriculum for the Play & Learn Groups is aligned with Michigan Department of Education expectations for kindergarten readiness. Receive free a book when you attend
