The foundation for this class is to help grow kind and capable little humans while also giving parents a space to share the highs and lows of toddlerhood with other parents experiencing the same chapter of life. I believe that as parents, it is our role to nurture the human we hope our child will become. By providing rich confidence building experiences in the classroom for the children as well as intimate small group discussions with parents, I hope to create a community for you and your child to experience toddlerhood together.
 

The Parent Talk Time is an integral part of the Parent and Me experience. It allows for deeper and more intimate group discussion. For every class, I will send you a copy of our curriculum along with a topic and article to discuss that week. My hope is that you will also share or suggest topics that are close to your heart. This allows me to create a curriculum that truly meets your needs. We will plan to sit with each topic for two weeks because half of the parents will sit with me for our discussion, while the other half of our parents will help the children explore the classroom activities. We will switch groups the following week. 

I will provide a rich learning environment for your children as well. I believe that children do their best learning by having strong models to follow and through rich experiences. There will be six distinct Centers in the classroom with activities that correlate with the children’s weekly curriculum. We will have two short sit down Circle times, where we will sing songs, read books, and build confidence through music making. There will also be an opportunity to practice handwashing in the classroom as well as to sit down and have a snack together. The children will have time to explore our outdoor space which has a large sandbox, a climbing structure, tire swings, tricycles, and everyone’s favorite, a mud kitchen!
