Welcome former and future members!

Natick Cooperative Playgroup (NCP) is a nonprofit organization established by area families to provide a social environment for children under the age of six and to build connections between MetroWest parents, grandparents, and caregivers. NCP was formed over 40 years ago and is made up of member volunteers. Our goal is to provide a unique multi-age opportunity for families in Natick and surrounding communities. We welcome parents, grandparents, and caregivers to attend with their children!

For Fall 2023, two-hour playgroup sessions will be offered at least one weekday and one weekend day, with more days added depending on interest during registration. Fall 2023 playgroups will be outdoor and families will meet at a designated playgroup in Natick during that time. Each session is loosely structured and includes time for free play, parent/caregiver conversation, and an allergy-friendly snack.

Upon signing up, the member registers for a primary day of the week to attend for the year, enabling the children and adults who attend that day to enjoy a routine of fun and friendship. Members are also welcome to attend additional days as their schedules allow, but they are expected to participate most regularly and contribute to snack/craft on their primary (registered) day.
