The Buggy Bunch Programming
Playgroups
Educational Playgroups:
Moms and their kids meet for a fun and educational class. The free groups are designed for children ages 0-5, and encourage interactive play. Children in Educational Playgroups learn while singing, talking, reading, playing, and engaging with each other and parents.
Stay & Play:
Moms and their little ones come for some free play in the Learning Loft at The Buggy Bunch Family Center. Stay & Play allows children to have loads of fun in the Learning Loft while parents interact with and meet other parents. There is no RSVP required.
Park Play:
Calvary Cove Playground hosts some fun park play! The playground is private, fenced, and under some shade. Park Play is held from November-May.
Other Playgroups:
Moms and children meet at The Buggy Bunch Family Center for an hour of socialization and playtime. Examples are Sensory Playgroups, Bible Storytime, and Summer Fun Playgroups.
Faith Development
Bible Studies:
Moms participate in one of our many quarterly Bible Studies while receiving free childcare. Bible Studies are led by wonderful TBB women who also serve as mentors, volunteers, and more.
Children’s Bible Studies:
While moms attend Bible Study, children learn about Jesus Christ in a safe and loving environment. Snacks, crafts, and Christian curriculum are used to share the gospel in the most effective and strategic ways.
Single Moms Group:
Single moms meet together for fellowship and support. Past events have included Single Moms Bible Studies (moms participate in Bible Studies while receiving free childcare) and Single Moms’ Night Out (we provide an evening out with free childcare). Currently, Single Moms group meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month at The Buggy Bunch Family Center. We also love on and support single moms and their families during the holidays through our Christmas Angel Program.
Intercessory Prayer:
Staff and volunteers pray for and with moms. A Day of Prayer is held once a year at The Buggy Bunch Family Center.
Bereavement Group:
Moms who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth, tubal pregnancy, or infant loss meet to encourage each other. Free childcare is provided.
Mentorship:
A formal network of mentors and mentees. Seasoned mothers are paired with moms dealing with specific issues like adjusting to mothering, divorce, addiction, abuse, special needs children, adultery, financial struggles, and more. This is typically incorporated into our Bible Studies in a group setting, but mentors and mentees also meet outside of Bible Study individually.
