Playgroups
Chico Mothers' Club has playgroups that are organized into small groups of about 9 moms and kids similar in age.There are special playgroups that don't conform to this model such as the Open Playgroup; Activities Playgroup; and Sibling playgroups. In addition, members can start groups according to need.
Below you'll find descriptions of all the playgroups with openings and the club's playgroup by-laws. Members will get contact information for the playgroups as part of their new member information.

Playgroup By-Laws
These rules are meant to be guidelines only. Each playgroup should talk about them and tailor them to fit their individual group.
1. Be committed. In order to have a successful playgroup, each member must be committed to it. Regular attendance is essential for there to be a group.
2. Call host if you are unable to attend.
3. Keep your child home if they’re sick. (First sign of a cold and until they are free of fever, bad cough, or other symptoms of illness for at least 24 hrs.)
4. Agree to abide by host’s “house rules”. Ex: No standing on furniture, food & drinks in the kitchen only, off limit areas.
5. Supervise you own child! Step in if he/she is hurting another child! (You may be asked to stop attending playgroup if there is an ongoing problem.)
6. When bringing snacks for your child, choose less messy items or have your child sit at the table to eat.
7. Help clean up the host’s home before you leave.
