Upcoming Events

  • Monthly Book Club

    Reading preferred but not required! This is an opportunity for parents to engage on various topics impacting kids. This time can also be used as a night time opportunity to share general concerns. We may discuss the same book multiple meetings depending where conversation leads so the pace is based on the group. It is a great opportunity to engage with other parents regardless of where you are in the parenting journey! Our next book club will be on Tuesday June 3rd 7-8pm at the Scituate Town Library. Our book selection is Erasing the Finish Line, Beyond Grades and College Admissions by Ana Homayoun

  • Adventure Club

    Monthly adventure meet-ups where families connect and kids can play! This will be unstructured and the purpose is for children to engage in independent, creative, uninterrupted, and multi-age play.

    Our next Adventure Club will be June 7th at Forge Pond in Hanover, 10-12pm.

  • Village Talk

    SSDW will be hosting a community picnic in June. Date TBD, sign up for our newsletter to stay updated.

Scituate Parent Updates

This is a list of known relevant school and community discussions. We want to help parents share and coordinate concerns for school day related concerns with their local school councils, PTOs and school committee. Please contact us if you would like to be put in contact with a parent partner from your school for additional information. We have monthly meetings at the library to touch base at a district wide level, please join us! We also want to grow a parent led community to enhance activities children can engage in outside of the school. It takes a village! We want to grow that supportive mentality and provide outlets for both parents and children to connect in the real world.
