caregiver nearby. Topics include responding to new behaviors, encouraging
language development, preventing temper tantrums and more. Parents/

experiences. Alongside your child, you will investigate how these experiences

to explore learning stations outdoors and play with water, sand, dirt and
more. This is a great way to get outside with your children, foster curiosity and
explore the natural world. Weather permitting, this class will be outdoors for
the entire class time every week.
