Talk builds your child’s brain! Did you know that your child’s brain:
grows up to eighty percent of its adult size during the first three years,
responds to your talking right from birth, and forms seven hundred
new nerve connections every second? Join us to learn how to build
your child’s brain through talking, reading and singing. You will receive
personal feedback through “talk pedometers”.

Class Under Glass (30 months up to kindergarten)
Studies prove that spending time outdoors builds confidence, promotes
creativity, provides different stimulation, and gets children moving,
all while reducing stress and fatigue. Parents and children will learn
about the outdoors and nature, both in and out of our greenhouse,
through artwork and sensory experiences. Class will be spent inside and
outdoors - even through the winter months.
