Tapestry

Tapestry offers early support for children and their families birth to successful Kindergarten transition.  

• Birth to Kindergarten - Tapestry is for all families of children birth to five years old (to kindergarten entry) in the Cheboygan Otsego Presque Isle ESD area of Michigan.    
• No Qualifying Requirements -Tapestry is for any family that is interested.  There are no income requirements to participate.  A child does not need to have a problem or delay.  The only requirement is that the child is not yet in kindergarten and lives in the COP ESD area. 
• Family Centered, Family Friendly - Involvement in Tapestry activities is voluntary, and is based on the family’s need and desire.  Visits and activities are fun and interesting for parents and children, and are scheduled to be as convenient as possible to the family. 
• Range of Activities -Tapestry involvement can include a range of activities. Parents and their children can be involved in one or more appropriate activities. We will also refer as appropriate to other programs and activities for young children, their parents, and their families.

Come play with us!  We recognize the importance of opportunities for children to make connections and learn how to interact with others through play.  The same is true for parents/caregivers, they benefit from social connections and resources shared.

Our playgroup locations are: Indian River, Cheboygan, Onaway, Mackinaw City, Wolverine, Johannesburg and Lewiston.
