Playgroups are a
great way for young children to have a lot of fun and for you to meet some
local parents (who will have more tips on fun kid friendly things to do).
Victoria has quite a few of them. As times and days change frequently, please
check each website for times and days. The best, in my experience, are listed
below.
1. Fairfield Community Center
1330 Fairfield
Road, 250 382 4604
They offer 2 drop
in’s; parent & tot (birth to 5), by donation and kindergym, (walking -5)
and $2. Both fill up quickly so be there a few minutes early to ensure you get
in!
2. James Bay Community Center
140 Oswego Street,
250 389 1470
Kindergym, Birth-5,
$4
3. Victoria YMCA
851 Broughton
Street, 250 386 7511
The Y is right
downtown, and offers some drop-ins on Saturday mornings. The website is a bit
hard to navigate, on the right hand side of the page you will see a blue box
with drop-in schedules, click on ‘child’ to see what they have.
4. Saanich Rec Centers
Various locations
Pearkes, Gordon
Head, and Saanich Commonwealth all offer drop in Kindergym. To find information
scroll to the bottom of page and click on Drop In Kindergym. If the Pearkes
Kindergym fit’s into your day, it is located right behind Tillicum Mall, which
is home to Old Navy, Winners, and Target…so you can combine your kindergym with
a little shopping!
5. Henderson Rec Center
2291 Cedar Hill X
Road
Located in deep Oak
Bay, this is a good sized kindergym, lots of ride ‘ems and sports stuff, and
sometimes a bouncy castle. Usually they fill up so it’s good to go early to
ensure a spot.
