About Family
Playtime
Family Playtime is a Charleston-based, natural-minded Mom's group.
We sponsor play groups throughout the greater Charleston area.
Family Playtime was founded by local Mom Rhoda Brown in
March 2002.
We are strong supporters of attachment parenting, natural
family living,
and environmental conservation.
We believe that tending to the emotional needs of our
children will help them
to become compassionate, well-adjusted adults.
Family Playtime Mission
Statement
Family Playtime is a diverse parenting group in the Greater
Charleston area for those who advocate and seek out natural
solutions to the challenges faced in caring for our
families.
All are welcome who are interested and open to learning or
sharing information about natural alternatives to those
challenges.
Many of our members embrace a healthy skepticism toward
mainstream thinking in their parenting practices, which is
often met with criticism in the context of our community at
large.
A primary goal of Family Playtime is to provide a forum
where we may share, inform, inspire and support each other
free, from judgement by one another.
Respect, understanding, support and tolerance are held in
high regard,
and are the cornerstones of our connection with one
another.
