Growing Together: Learning Through Play & Parent Connection

Join us for a fun and engaging class where parents and children learn and grow together through purposeful play! Each session includes hands-on activities designed to support your child’s development in key areas: language and literacy, social-emotional skills, cognitive growth, and physical development.

This class is a wonderful way to strengthen your bond with your child, connect with other families, and gain insights into your child’s development—all in a supportive and playful setting.

Separating Class: Midway through class, parents will move to a separate room for a guided discussion led by our parent educator—focusing on the joys, challenges, and milestones of this age group. Meanwhile, children will stay in the classroom to play, explore, and enjoy a snack with early childhood staff.
• Children ages 0–12 months remain with their parent during separation time.
• Children ages 1 and up must be able to sit and eat snack independently in order to separate.
