Developmental Play Group Observation Report

Identifying the information On Wednesday October 21, 2015, I was able to join the Developmental Playgroup from 9:30 a.m until 11:30 a.m. Members present within the Playgroup, were CDR Developmental Playgroup staff, eight children, one family consultant/therapist from the Infant Parent Program, and two volunteers.
