Open Arms Playgroup
April 15, 2007
Open Arms is a parent driven play group, of the Northwest Down Syndrome Association, for children ages birth through five, with Down syndrome and their family. The play group is organized to give parents opportunities to connect with each other on a personal level by asking questions, sharing ideas, and learning from others experience. Open Arms is a fun place where children can play, snack, learn and grow together. The play group instills their belief that parents are the experts and number one advocate of their children.
It’s the third Friday of each month, 10AM - 11:30AM, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 1244 NW 39th Ave, Portland OR 97232.( map)
A Message from Open Arms Chair
As a proud parent of a child with a beautiful smile, caring personality, vast array of abilities, bright future, and Down syndrome diagnosis, I would like to welcome you to Open Arms Play Group. My life would not be the same without having a child with Down syndrome or without meeting all of the families that have been involved in Open Arms. If you have recently discovered you are expecting a baby or recently delivered a baby, with a Down syndrome diagnosis, please call or join us at play group. For more information on our organization and ways in which you can become unvolved or donate, please visit the Northwest Down Syndrome website or call (503) 238-0522.
