Fun Is Here: Join Us for Great Start Livingston’s Winter 2026 Playdates

Winter is the perfect time to connect, play, and build community—and Great Start Livingston is excited to invite families to our Winter 2026 Playdates! These free, family-friendly events are designed especially for children ages 0–5 and the adults who love them.

Our playdates offer a welcoming space for young children to explore, move, read, and learn through play while caregivers connect with local resources and community partners.

What to Expect

Each playdate includes:

• Engaging play opportunities that support social connections and physical activity

• Access to community resources and partner organizations

• One FREE book and one snack per child (while supplies last)

• FREE take-home STEAM kits for the first 50 families with children ages 3–5

Best of all, playdates are FREE and open to the public. No advance registration required!
