Children's Activities

New Canaan is a very family-friendly town and our Newcomers Club is no exception! We organize activities and provide numerous resources for new families. The Children's Activities team focuses on creating fun events for children ages newborn to five. We also organize playgroups for children ages newborn to three. This Fall, playgroups will start the week of September 14th. Sign up now to meet like-minded Moms and enjoy the occasional Mom's Night Out. Discover Fairfield County as we visit local attractions with our kids, mingle at monthly social gatherings for the entire family and learn about New Canaan Pre-Schools during our bi-annual Pre-School Forum. Please click on any of the activities below to learn more, to join or to RSVP.

Playgroups

Don't miss the opportunity to join one or more of our fun playgroups!  We organize four different "mommy and me" groups by age. Come connect with other New Canaan moms who have similar-aged children and also enjoy the occasional mom's night out with your group. Each group rotates at different member's homes and meets at the same time on a particular day each week.
