Find a Kaleidoscope Play & Learn Group



Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups are organized play groups for young children and the people who take care of them – grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, parents and other family members and friends.
At Kaleidoscope Play & Learn, children and caregivers take part in play activities that support children’s early learning. They also get a chance to meet new friends, hear more about other early learning and family support programs in their neighborhood, and to get out of the house and have fun. Caregivers also learn more about child development and what they can do at home to support the healthy growth and learning of the children in their care.
Groups meet weekly all over King County in libraries, family centers, schools, community centers and other neighborhood locations. Most groups are free and many do not require registration. Groups are offered in a variety of languages.
All Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups follow the Kaleidoscope Play & Learn Guidelines and participate in a King County-wide evaluation of the program to make sure that we’re reaching our goals of supporting caregivers and children .
To see Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups in action, check out these videos from KING 5’s Learning for Life series:
Kaleidoscope Play & Learn at High Point Library in Seattle
Kaleidoscope Play & Learn at Monitor Migrant Camp in Wenatchee, WA

To visit a Kaleidoscope Play & Learn group, check out the list of all of the groups in King County, Washington. If you are interested in visiting or joining a group, please call or email the contact person for that group to make sure there haven’t been any changes in the group’s schedule and location.
