FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington is now registering families for a Monday evening playgroup starting in mid September. This playgroup is for children younger than three years of age and is based on a model called Parents Interacting with Infants. The playgroup’s focus is parents’ observations of and interactions with their young children.

These weekly playgroup sessions are facilitated by Dolores Appl, UMF professor of special education, and her students who are preparing to be teachers of young children. Each week the students plan meaningful learning activities based on the interests of the parents and children attending.

The groups are free and enrollment is open to all families of infants and toddlers, however, registration is required.
