Playdates for Children and Their Caregivers at San Jose’s Seven Trees Library.
Join us every Wednesday for weekly playdates. Kids get to practice early social skills like sharing, taking turns, imitation of play, and joint attention while caregivers get a chance to connect.
Don’t miss out on this chance to celebrate the joys of play while connecting with other families in the community. It’s a wonderful way to learn through play and create lasting memories together!
