  Bring your music loving toddler Bach to Rock for "Toddler Jam!"

  Toddler Jam will give kids a chance to explore different instruments while learning simple musical concepts such as soft v slow, loud v soft, etc. Students will sing a long to popular songs, have time to play with different instruments, and leave with a coloring sheet. This jam is geared towards infants through pre-K age, but all ages are welcome!

  Story behind Tyed with Love:

  There are always signs or - foreshadowing if you will - of where we are meant to be in life. Unknowingly Lindsay’s sign came to her at the early age of 9 as she tie dyed her first t-shirt at Camp Vega.

  Lindsay grew up in Brookline, MA graduated from Syracuse University and went on to earn her Masters in Integrated Marketing Communications from Emerson College. Lindsay thrived in a successful marketing and advertising career for over 11 years. In 2011 Lindsay married the only man who could constantly keep her laughing, David, and together they have two tie dyers in training, Zachary and Ava.

  While their family grew Lindsay took a leave from her busy career never imagining that tie dye would bring her back into the workforce.

  During Lindsay’s time off from advertising she found herself one day, with her son at a friends 5th birthday party, tie dying. Vivid images of that summer in 1993 where Lindsay tie dyed her first shirt flooded her mind and she knew she needed to find a way to bring tie dye back into her life. Lindsay bought a small tie dye kit and began creating pajamas for her children which expanded into requested items for friends and family. Before she knew it, her small hobby grew into what you now see before you today as Tyed with Love.

  Lindsay loves the creativity that now spills into her daily life, the nostalgia of the 60’s (or in Lindsay’s case the 90’s), and the simplicity of making people smile. She enjoys customizing each piece to meet the preferences of every customer, knowing that no two will ever be the same. Looking back, no one could have ever known that the moment nine year old Lindsay tie dyed her first piece would be such an integral part of who she was meant to be. Lindsay will continue to treasure that moment and all things...

  Tyed with Love.

  The Wellesley Mothers Forum annual Playdate in the Park is a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to meet and mingle and learn about our amazing playgroups program!

  Join us at Phillips Park to play and/or sign up for a playgroup. Playgroups are a great way to get to know other WMF members and their families in a smaller setting! For those who already have a playgroup assignment, feel free to come with or without your playgroup. You'll be able to sign up for a new playgroup assignment (whether you've had one before or not).

  We'd love to have you stop by even if you're not interested in joining a playgroup. This is an open family event, so please feel free to bring a friend or neighbor who is interested in joining WMF!

  Drop by any time between 10 am and 1 pm. Light refreshments will be available. 

  Can't make it and want to join a playgroup? Just fill out the form on the Playgroups' webpage.

  Melanie Clary, WMF Playgroups Director

  
  

  What are playgroups?

  Playgroups run from October to April. We strive to group members based on their child's age and day/time availability. The goal is for playgroups to meet weekly to provide moms as well as their children opportunities to engage with and get to know other families going through similar milestones. Many playgroups decide to continue meeting long after the playgroup formally ends at the end of April. 

  Can I get a new playgroup assignment?

  While many playgroups continue on for many years, some playgroups fizzle out as schedules change and members move away. You can sign up for a new playgroup each fall. While playgroup assignments are typically made in October, we do our best to accommodate members wanting to form new playgroups at other times of the year outside of our annual enrollment.
