Circle of Parenting: For expectant parents and their babies up to 12 months old

Pregnancy and new babies bring profound transitions to families.

You are not alone. Questions may arise about a baby’s crying, need for holding, feeding and sleeping. Explore your role as a parent of an infant, how it feels, and what you need, while in the company of other parents and professionals.

Parents/caregivers develop observation skills, are supported to build partnership with their babies, understand infant development, receive peer and facilitator support, and ends with a short singing time all together. 

Baby Floor Time: For parents/caregivers and their 12-24 month olds

Young toddlers require the freedom to move and to attend to exploration as they work and play. Many of these young tots have grown into world explorers! In this class you’ll watch your baby expand their capacity to be with other tots and adults in an environment that is specifically designed for the very young.

This class includes an adult quiet observation time while children enjoy child-centered play, an adult conversation time where parents and caregivers can receive peer and facilitator support, and ends with a short singing time all together.

Toddler Play and Parent Education: For parent/caregivers and their 24-36 month olds

In this class, your growing tot will learn that they can wait, listen to others, be listened to, problem solve, and be part of a group.

Classes include child-centered play, sensory activities, clean up, singing, stories, and a simple snack.

While children are supported in play, parents/caregivers practice observation, build the capacity for inquiry and curiosity and explore “parent tools” for supporting feelings, attachment, autonomy, mastery and problem solving, and sharing the ups and downs of living with a toddler with other parents and a facilitators.
