All our early learning groups are for children ages 0 -6 with a parent, guardian or caregiver, and include circle time, singing, stories, and activities that support cognitive, physical, and social-emotional growth and development. Families will also have an opportunity to utilize the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, a free tool, that provides parents with a snapshot of their child’s development. Registration is required for all groups.

Parent Workshops
Circle of Security Parenting
​At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.
A NEW SESSION OF CIRCLE OF SECURITY PARENTING WILL BE OFFERED IN THE FALL.
​
THE AGES AND STAGES DEVELOPMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
is available to all parents interested in learning if their child's development is on track for his/her age and stage!
See below or contact Jodi @
