This class includes activities, songs, rhymes, movement, and parent discussion with a trained facilitator. You and your child will spend time together exploring toys and participating in classroom activities in a stimulating environment.

In this unique parent-child program, we explore, investigate, and unearth nature's secrets that lie beyond the classroom doors. Parents will have one-on-one time with their child(ren); indoors and outside. There will also be time for parents to meet with the teacher in a different room to discuss their child's learning and development while children spend time with a Naturalist learning more about themselves, each other and the natural world.

Parent-child activities are planned for children ages 12-23 months. Discussion topics include child development, eating and sleeping routines, and parenting styles. Gradual parent/child separation will occur as the class and children's needs are met.

Join us for this unique opportunity where we highlight the developmental milestones happening during this age, such as self regulation, independence, motor development, communication and language development. This class is a traditional ECFE class with parent and child time and a gradual separation for a Parent Education component.
