ChildWise is an outreach program of the New Parent Support Program through Army Community Service. This interactive play group allows moms, dads and their children to come together for a few hours each week to play in a group setting. Activities can include free play, story time, crafts and music; which helps children learn to play with each other. It teaches parents developmentally appropriate play and to improve their children's social, cognitive and motor skills. It also gives parents an opportunity to other parents.
