We know about the importance of getting off to a strong start with your baby and our line-up of workshops and classes offers a great way to strengthen the bond with your child. Meet other new parents and learn about infant growth and change. This class is for newborn to 9 month old babies and their significant care giver. Free but registration required. No sibling care is provided but you may bring other preschool household members (0-5 years) please let us know so that we can plan space accordingly.

Enjoy time with your baby/toddler exploring the outdoor classroom, singing songs, creating art activities, reading books and playing to learn. A licensed Parent Educator will lead the class as you interact with your child and discuss your child’s social, emotional and physical development. The age of your child as of September 1, 2020, determines your placement in the age-appropriate class for the entire school year.

Twos are growing at high speed so they require guidance and limits as they set out to try everything in sight. Our classroom will engage all of their senses as they dance, create, build, problem solve, communicate and socialize. Parents and children enjoy learning time together for the first 15 minutes of class. For the remainder of class, parents will separate from their child with a parent educator who will guide parent-generated topics including eating, toilet learning, separation anxiety, and language development as well as other relevant topics. You will also leave with new ideas that reinforce your child's weekly classroom activities. This class will meet five times - weekly. (Sibling care is not available for this class.) Your child must be age 2 years by 9/1/20.
