ABOUT US
Who We Are
Blue Igloo is a not-for-profit cooperative playgroup founded by a group of local mothers in 2000. Blue Igloo’s mission has remained the same over the years – to provide a welcoming, fun and dynamic environment for young children and their parents or caregivers.
Blue Igloo is open to children ages 6 months through 3 years. Our teachers and parent-led board work hard to create a stimulating environment for young children through toys, art, activities, music and more. It is also a place where children develop their first friendships.
Our playgroup provides parents the opportunity to meet other families and share in their child’s development. Whether on the playmats or at social events, Blue Igloo is a remarkable resource for parents seeking friendship, support and advice.
