The Strong Start DC Early Intervention Program (DC EIP) Community Playgroups provide families with information about their child’s development, early childhood developmental screenings, early intervention process and community resources available to families across DC. The community playgroups are facilitated by early intervention professionals and provide a family-centered, child-interest driven environment for children to interact with their same-age peers, while families receive information about early intervention related topics.

Strong Start Community Playgroups are held on the first Wednesday of each month with Mt. Pleasant targeted for 12-24 month old’s (Bilingual-Spanish) being held from 12-1pm and the Francis Gregory playgroup targeted for 0-12 month old’s being held from 11-12pm.  

Community playgroups are held on different days throughout each month depending on location. RSVP is requested monthly for each playgroup session.
