Visiting schools is a great way to learn about them, and NPN Playdates make it fun for your whole family. They are a perfect way to spend time inside a school, meet teachers and staff, and learn about what makes each school unique. You will also meet other families, enjoy a fun morning of play, and enjoy a cup of coffee you didn't have to make! Even if you aren't looking for a school, it's a nice way to enjoy the morning. We hope you'll join us! Preschool Playdates are for children under six years old and at least one parent. Screenless Saturdays are for children aged approximately 6-9 and at least one parent. A parent must be present at all playdates at all times. Click on the links below to learn more and RSVP. More dates are added regularly. Check back often!

This month we are meeting in-person in the small meeting room at the Lincoln Park Branch, Chicago Public Library.
