We have continued to enroll new families in our inclusive social skills building playgroup in Merced this quarter. Families attended 24 in person playgroups. 33 children attended these playgroups for a total of 125 service contacts. This means children are attending multiple days this quarter. 36 parents, grandparents, or guardians guardians attended with their children this quarter. Families are being referred by word of mouth, their teachers, and medical providers.
Barrier Narrative- please describe any barriers or modifications required over the reporting period. This can include any partnerships or funding lost, the loss of key staff or volunteers, or additional internal or external complications. This narrative should be reflective of the data presented on page 1.
The main barrier we face is not being able to store our toys and supplies for our weekly playgroups on site. We have purchased a shed that has not been moved to the site or assembled yet. We have been told it can be placed in the larger shed near the community center. The staff are not sure that is the best solution. It would be nice to have the materials within the building or in the shed (we have purchased) adjacent to the community center. At this point the staff have been loading up a van each week to take all of the toys and supplies and then bringing those back to our office.
If the city has maintenance workers who could help with the transport and assembling of the shed that would be helpful.

Playgroup has doubled in size since January. CVRC has been routinely referring families. A new family joined recently and was a little overwhelmed. Her child has special needs. Her child was having a rough first day. However, the rest of the families were right there to offer her support and words of encouragement. It is exactly why we have this inclusive playgroup. It is a welcoming, nonjudgmental and safe place for families to bring their children to thrive .
