BENNINGTON/MANCHESTER - A new playgroup is being offered for infants and toddlers at the Head Start Cottage (across from Park McCullough House) in North Bennington.

* What to look for in quality child care.

* Infant/Child CPR for parents.

* How to baby- or toddler-proof a home.

The group will take place every Thursday, Oct. 4 - Dec. 20, from 8:30-10 a.m.
