Parent Recommendation
"The decision to stay home with my new baby girl was an important one and I really enjoyed taking care of her. Sitges Playgroup was a
wonderful place I found to meet other moms, share experiences and ideas and just have a laugh. I loved meeting all the different people from so many parts of the world and hearing their stories. For my daughter it was a fun place to go with so many little friends, toys, the music time, Halloween and Christmas parties and many other fun activities. We made so many wonderful friends and we both enjoyed it thoroughly!" (Katie)
