In October 2022 AMA ESD re-envisioned Tot Spot, the instructional playgroup that is open to all children birth through age 5 within AMA ESD. The first session held had one child and their parent. Over the last year, Special Education Supervisor Ashley Peterson and her enthusiastic Early On team worked to create unique, play-based experiences in the areas of speech, social play, fine motor, gross motor, and thinking & learning. As a result, the playgroup is seeing a positive response from the community, with over 25 children and their parent/guardian attending our first session in Alpena County! The group has also expanded to Montmorency and Alcona Counties to allow for equal access for families in all portions of AMA. These no-cost play dates are open to all children 0-5 within Alpena, Montmorency, and Alcona counties. Future dates and locations for Tot Spot will be shared via social media. For any questions, please contact Early On at (989-354-3101.
