A new playgroup has been recently formed in West Philly for kids ages 2 and under and their caregivers. West Philly Babies meets every Tuesday from 1:30-3 p.m. at the University City Arts League (UCAL) and invites more caregivers and their little ones to join them.

This group is an opportunity to socialize for both parents and young babies. “It’s a great chance to meet other local parents and caregivers of very young children in an easygoing space,” writes the group co-founder Alisha Nash. “Being a parent to a very young baby can be isolating, so I started the group along with another parent to build community with other parents in West Philly.” 

There is a sliding scale suggested contribution of $2-$5, which goes to cover a rental fee from UCAL. It’s a very informal group at the moment. In the future, the organizers will consider providing snack and having some activities like music.

The group’s next meeting is on Tuesday, April 5 at 4226 Spruce Street, 3rd floor.
