Play & Learn

Babies/Crawlers (0 - 14 months)

    Where they are: These babies are just getting comfortable being out of the house and beginning to move. Crawling, cruising, rolling, sitting, and ready to explore anything and everything!

Walkers (10 - 18 months)

    Where they are: They might not be steady, but they've taken their first few steps! Now more than ever is the time to build those muscles, strengthen those legs, and let those little ones take off!

Runners (16 - 24 months)

    Where they are: Talk about being on the move! Little ones are communicating, running, showing interest in friends, and can't stop exploring!

Explorers (22 - 36 months)

    Where they are: Little ones are communicating, sharing opinions (probably mostly 'no'), and showing interest in their first friends! They can do new things like walk backwards, jump, and balance on one foot.

Family (mobile - 5 years)

    Where they are: Everyone is welcome! Participating in a diverse class of physical, social, and cognitive developmental skills creates a dynamic class. Younger children benefit from watching older children and older children benefit from being leaders. Great for siblings too! 

Music

Babies & Toddlers (6 - 26 months)

    Where they are: Learning through listening and watching, moving, and "singing" with coos and babbles. Little ones are also working on learning through progression from receptive to expressive musical behaviour!

Preschoolers (26 months - 5 years)

    Where they are: Children are learning to hear and feel emotions! Tunes can be happy, sad, or angry. This supports social development in understanding emotions in a new way.

Family (6 months - 5 years)

    Where they are: Children of all ages and at every stage can learn about music!

Art

Toddlers (18 - 30 months)

    Where they are: Learning about process over product! Children work with different textures that support sensory input, fine motor, and gross motor skills. 

Preschoolers (26 months - 5 years)

    Where they are: Not only are children learning social skills by sharing a work space and creating with others, they are also able to express themselves through another outlet before they have the verbal capacity to do so.

Family (18 months - 5 years)

    Where they are: All children benefit from a space to be creative. Children are eager to explore different mediums, textures, and ways to express themselves.    

School Readiness

Preschool Prep with HOMER (2 - 4 years)

    Where they are: Your little learner is ready to start on ABC's and 123's. They are showing more interest in talking and figuring out the relationship between letters and language. They are also ready to learn basic counting skills and the relationship that numbers have to objects.

School Skills (3 - 5 years)

    Where they are: Children are ready to embark on a classroom experience without their adults by their side. They are ready to collaborate and negotiate with their peers, and learn ways to communicate and play together. 

Magformers(2.5 - 5 years)
