Wantagh high school has a free "play group" several days during the week. The purpose of the group is to give the high school students taking the Parenting class the ability to learn how to take care of children from infants to 5 year olds. Your child is paired with 1 or 2 high school students, and there is a teacher there the entire time.

The teacher is asking anyone with young children to "borrow" their children for about an hour to attend her class. The students are looking to develop their babysitting resume through hands on work with children.

It starts Oct 26 and runs through the end of the school year. Meets on Weds & Fri 9:58-10:38am, 12:54-1:54pm, or 1:38-2:18pm.

I have no further info, but you can contact the teacher, Mrs. Ostrow, directly for more information. Her email is [email protected] and her phone number is 516-679-6441.

My son used to go in the afternoon after pre-school & half day Kindy and really enjoyed it.
