Perch Playgroup
Read, sing, and play with us to build language, make friends (both human and animal), and grow as a lifelong learner!
This weekly class at Perch Farm is child-centered, play-based, and dedicated time outside. It is designed for children ages six months through five years. This opportunity was created to allow you to set aside time each week to grow and learn alongside your child. Let’s read together, sing songs and make music, dance our hearts out, learn through play, and meet new animal friends each week. Your child will have the chance to interact and bond with you, explore the natural world around them while making new friends, and build their confidence as they try new things.
Why Perch Playgroup?
Becca has taken great care in designing the perfect combination of reading, singing, and playing outside to enable true play and growth opportunities to take place. At these young and tender ages, children are most comfortable alongside a loved one. This caregiver and me class will allow your child to feel secure, spend time outside in nature, reach new milestones, and gain confidence in their growth and learning.
“The way to a child’s mind is through their heart.” – Gordon Neufeld
The research is clear. Children need to be outside and they need to be playing. This playgroup provides an opportunity for both. Children and caregivers who join us for playgroup will get the benefit of language and literacy growth, building and practicing social skills, experiences to express creativity, fine and gross motor development, and loving encounters with live farm animals.

What they’re saying…
“Becca’s Book Box puts on the most wonderful play-based events for children! My twin 5-year-olds attended a Kindergarten Ready Camp at Perch Farm this summer and the activities presented were so creative! The balance of structured stations involving literary, math and reading and free play opportunity kept my girls not only engaged but constantly learning through having fun. Mix in some new friends, farm animals, exploration, a beautiful environment, and we could not say enough great things about this awesome experience at Perch Farm.” – Stephanie
