Babies at the Barnyard 

“Babies at the Barnyard” is a new program we plan to launch in the summer of 2025 to support caregivers of children under the age of three with developmental delays and disabilities in Pierce and St. Croix counties. The program will empower these families and enrich their parenting capacities by combining nature-based play and evidence-based parenting strategies. Research underscores the benefits of outdoor play and the proven success of the Triple P Positive Parenting Program, which will both form the foundation of this six-week initiative.

The program will run for six weeks, from July 7 to August 11, 2025, with two identical 60-minute sessions per week. This schedule provides flexibility for participants while ensuring accessibility.

Each session will include:

  • 15 minutes of unstructured peer play and social interaction: Allowing children and caregivers to build connections in a sensory-rich environment. Participants will have an opportunity to explore and enjoy the various animals and activities available at the Barnyard.
  • 30 minutes of structured instruction: Guided by Erika Hybben, a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 24 years of experience, most of which has been working with families in the birth to three program. Key concepts from the Triple P Positive Parenting Program will be delivered through interactive and playful methods.
  • 15 minutes of guided play: Focusing on self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills.
  • Snacks will be provided.
