Local Events and Play Groups

Calhoun ISD Play Group

Playgroups are Designed for families with children ages 0 – 5. Our playgroups are parent child interaction. We provide child appropriate activities that will focus on the different child development domains (gross motor, fine motor, social emotional, communication etc.). Our main focus is Preschool readiness. We end our playgroups with snack and a story. No pre-registration required.

Playgroups are free and open to all families living in Calhoun County with children birth to age five. Families are required to have a Help Me Grow application on file to participate. Before heading out to playgroups please check the ECC Facebook page for updates and cancellations due to weather. When Battle Creek Public Schools has a snow day, playgroups will be cancelled.
