International Spouses & Partners (ISPY) Events

Mondays and Fridays
10:30am-12pm through June 14

Babies @ Yale
International Center, 421 Temple Street
This playgroup is an ideal opportunity for little ones to begin socializing and learning about group play. This is also a great meeting place for parents and caregivers looking for opportunities to practice speaking English, and for everyone to share experiences, tips and ideas.

As the International Center does not offer a child-proof setting, Babies@Yale is recommended for babies and toddlers that will be content playing together behind the glass partition (up to approximately one year). The OISS has a limited number of toys and books available to the group. Donations are always welcome and families are invited to bring their own activities to share with the group.

If you are interested in joining the group, and for details regarding summer meeting locations, please contact the group coordinator, Audrey, audrey.campos43@gmail.com, for more details.
