You and your child/children are invited to join us at our weekly play, learn and discover groups.
Wouldn’t you like to come to a place where you and your child can interact in a safe, developmentally appropriate, fun, socially stimulating and exciting way?
Meet new children and other parents looking for the same thing as you.
What will we do?
Activities will be done in a friendly age-appropriate way to introduce social emotional learning, literacy, writing, math, science and of course it will all be offered in an early childhood environment while the children are playing and socializing. There is plenty of space for our infants and toddlers to move around and learn too!
You are welcome to attend as many of the groups as you would like. Repetition is very important to children and that is how they successfully master skills.
