New Parent? Don't Miss Out on These Free Teacher-Led Playgroups

Got a little one at home and hoping that they will socialize with others their own age? I know that organizing plate dates time after time can get exhausting. Everyone's got a different schedule, and meeting other parents with kids of a similar age is no small task. That's why I always recommend that you find yourself some regular meetups to make life easier on yourself.

Baby Groups

The British School of Beijing Sanlitun and Shunyi organizes weekly toddler meetups that are free and open to parents, whether you're planning on attending their school or not. These Baby Groups are open to kids aged 0-3, and are a great way for babies to start socializing in a safe environment and for new parents to socialize and ask questions in a safe and educated environment.

Books

Bonding

There are a few rules though: 1) They organize these events to help foster bonds between parent and child, so you're not allowed to send ayi to attend in your place, 2) Since the schools can only accept foreign passport holders, the events are only open to those with foreign passports.

Here's what you can expect when you attend one of BSB's playdates.

An Early Years teacher welcomes everyone and leads the kids in a friendly warmup with songs, games, and crafts. Then kids get to play with age-appropriate toys and enjoy the company of others their own age while parents spend the time bonding with their kids and socializing with other parents while enjoying snacks and drinks.

Since space is limited, we highly recommend that you book your spot in advance.
