This spring, Prescott Group proudly launches Carers and Me!, a joyful new Saturday program at Progress Place that welcomes children of all ages and caregivers into an inclusive, supportive community designed for connection.
Running every Saturday, Carers and Me! offers families of all abilities a warm and welcoming place to come together through play, movement, music, sensory experiences, and creativity. Beyond the activities themselves, this program recognizes something equally vital: caregivers need community too.
Event Details:
- Activities take place Saturday mornings from 10 am – 12 pm.
- Families with children of all ages are welcome; activities will focus on ages 0-5+.
- Join us at Progress Place (5055 Clyde St.)
Caregiving can often feel isolating, particularly for parents, grandparents, and support people navigating disability, developmental differences, or the everyday realities of raising children. Opportunities to connect with others who understand these experiences can be life-changing, helping caregivers build resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of belonging.
Carers and Me! is designed to foster exactly that.
At Progress Place, caregivers can form meaningful friendships, share experiences, access child development expertise, and strengthen supportive peer networks while their children engage in joyful and inclusive programming. These connections help reduce isolation and create lasting community bonds that support whole-family wellbeing.
For children, the program offers opportunities to play, learn, and grow at their own pace in a welcoming environment where every child is valued. For caregivers, it provides a space to connect, recharge, and know they are not alone.
By bringing together children and caregivers in one inclusive space, Prescott Group is creating an intergenerational community rooted in empathy, joy, and mutual support.
