This is a long overdue review of a wonderful children’s co-op playgroup near U st. and 16th. They are located inside the Augustana Lutheran Church with three sun filled playrooms accommodating children from 6month to 4 years. They require a childcare provider to come with the child so it provides a nice introduction and development of social skills for babies and toddlers while in the accompaniment of someone they are familiar with. My son has been going to the morning session(9am-12) since January and he loves it. The group is intimate enough that all the staff know his name and have interaction with him daily. He has made so many friends and so has my nanny! The nannies are also a wonderful group. They arrange playgroups in the afternoon and on holidays so the kids are still socializing with each other outside of Lemon Tree. Recently they went to the Zoo, the Building Museum’s Beach exhibit, to local parks, etc… I am so grateful that I found Lemon Tree for my son and I recommend it to anyone looking for a playgroup in the area.
