A playgroup or preschool for babies is typically considered after age 2. Between 0-2 years, the most important learning environment for your baby is the secure bond and interaction with you at home.
From age 2 onward, a playgroup a few times a week for short sessions can be beneficial; the goal here isn't academic, but social contact, sharing, and separation experience. From age 3, a half-day, play-based program works well for most children.
When choosing, look for: teachers with early childhood development training, low class sizes (8-10 children ideal), safety and hygiene standards, and age-appropriate toys and activities. The more "academic" or "structured" a program is, the less suitable it is — at this age, free exploration, natural play, and plenty of movement are most valuable.
