Playful Toddlers is a baby and toddler playgroup in Orland Park and Lyons, Chicago.

Playful Toddlers offers specialized mom and baby classes designed to help parents feel confident, supported, and connected in their daily motherhood journey. Led by licensed occupational therapist Armi Grace Petersen, the group provides expert guidance on supporting baby development through simple, realistic play strategies. The organization serves families in Orland Park, Burr Ridge, Lyons, and the greater Chicago area. Playful Toddlers offers several distinct programs: Learn How to Play With Your Baby for infants aged 0–12 months, which covers milestones like tummy time and rolling; Supporting Play & Behavior in Toddlers for children aged 1–3 years to help parents understand tantrums and big emotions; Starting Solids for babies aged 5–12 months to guide parents on safe feeding practices; and Connect & Play, a low-pressure casual playgroup for open connection and observation. All classes are held at Faith United Methodist Church in Orland Park or Le Village Co Work in Lyons. Registration fees vary by program, typically covering two adults and one child. The group operates on a final sale, non-refundable policy due to limited space and the need for advance planning. Parents are encouraged to bring their diaper bag with essentials, while all necessary toys and setups are provided during sessions. The environment is judgment-free, welcoming fussy babies and expecting mothers alike, ensuring everyone feels comfortable showing up as they are.
