Children’s Playroom Gears Up For Autumn By Chelsea Peifer

Vicki Dolan, executive director of Children’s Playroom of Lancaster County, often tells moms and dads that parenting is the most important job they will ever have, and it is also the hardest. Dolan is passionate about setting parents up for success as they navigate that journey, which is why she founded Children’s Playroom, a parenting support group that exists to let people know that there are others who are going through the same parenting difficulties and that they are not alone. “Children’s Playroom gives a safe haven for parents to come and open up with each other,” shared Dolan.
