About this Meetup


Welcome to our Group!



NWA Playgroup is a free playgroup for moms & non-school age children in the Northwest Arkansas area. We usually have at least 3 activities each week on our calendar. We try to schedule a variety of events but some of our regular events include Baby Bookworm at the library, Fun City pizza once a month, mall meetups, taking walks together, and a monthly Mom's Night Out. We even have a book club for moms that meets once a month.
We also have family meetups about once a month & usually have holiday parties.
Our group also believes in allowing moms to give back to the community by helping with community events. For the second year in a row, we formed a team for the Race for the Cure & walked together. We also cook meals for the homeless shelter & participated in the Great American Bake Sale to raise money for childhood hunger in America.
Come join us! It's a great way to make new mommy friends and for your little one to make new friends & learn how to socialize with other little ones.
We are a very friendly group and would love to meet you! :)
