Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) have EXPANDED its early-childhood program, Cooperative Play (Co-Op), to two new locations East of the River at Bald Eagle and Marvin Gaye Recreation Centers. There are also locations all over the city. 

Registration for this program is NOW OPEN for the upcoming season starting in September, so take advantage.  DPR is also hosting open houses for parents to drop in and see the program in action.

The program is a weekday playgroup servicing children ages 18 months to 4 years old, split into two age groups: 18-29 months and 2 ½- 4 years old.
