Ages & Stages

 

Ages & Stages Program

Our Ages & Stages program is designed to build friendships among children with Down syndrome who are close in age, as well as help create an atmosphere of collaboration among families who are facing the same types of educational, social and familial issues related to the age of their child with Down syndrome.  

Siblings of all ages are welcome to attend Ages and Stages activities.


These play dates are usually:

  • monthly
  • smaller than our all ages activities,
  • an activity which is geared toward children within a certain age range
  • hosted in someone's home or in a community setting (children's museum, playland, park etc.) 


Our current groups are as follows:

  • '17-'19 for children with Down syndrome born in 2017, 2018, 2019 & those yet to be born!
  • '14-'16 - for children with Down syndrome born in 2014, 2015 & 2016
  • '11-'13 - for children with Down syndrome born in 2011, 2012 & 2013. 
  • '08-'10 - for children with Down syndrome born in 2008, 2009 & 2010.
  • '05-'07 - for children with Down syndrome born in 2005, 2006 & 2007. 
  • '02-'04 - for children with Down syndrome born in 2002, 2003 & 2004.
  • '01 and earlier - for children with Down syndrome born in 2001 or earlier.
