KinderCONN is a series of summer playgroup events for rising Conn kindergartners and their families to make friends, ask questions, and build our CONNmUNITY before the start of the school year. All base and magnet families are welcome to attend, and all CONNtrepreneurs get to bring home their very own yard sign to show their school spirit! 2026 summer playgroup dates and locations are listed below. We hope you will join us!
