It is extremely important to have a welcomer at the door to welcome the families to Playgroup each week. This person would ideally be someone who remembers names and facts and is slightly extroverted though not to the extreme. Families feel loved when they are greeted by name and especially if the welcomer can then engage in a short dialogue in regards to that family’s situation. (Eg. The family might have mentioned going on a holiday, or loss of employment, sickness etc.) This is an opportunity to show that you care for your Playgroup families. Knowing the children’s names and a high five gesture helps everyone feel loved and welcome to  Playgroup!
