You’re Invited: Partner with Us at Great Start Livingston Summer Playdates!
Summer is almost here, and that means it’s time for sunshine, storytime, and sweet connections! ☀️
Great Start Livingston is excited to host another season of free community playdates for families with young children (ages 0–8) in Livingston County. These playdates provide a relaxed, welcoming space for families to connect with one another and with local resources that support early childhood development.
Each event typically draws between 50 and 100 children and their caregivers, and we love having community partners join us to make these events even more impactful.
How Community Partners Can Get Involved
We’re inviting local libraries, nonprofits, health organizations, early childhood programs, and all Great Start Collaborative partners to join us this summer! You’re welcome to:
- 📚 Read a children’s book aloud
- 🎨 Lead a simple craft or game
- 🎁 Share giveaways or flyers about your services
- 🤝 Help greet families or assist with check-in
- 💡 Bring your own creative idea—we’re all ears!
Your presence helps families learn more about available supports while adding fun and variety to the playdate experience.
