Classes: Where Play and Learning Meet
In our playgroups, new friendships are nurtured through a group experience.
Preschool playgroups are designed to offer children a mini-preschool like experience. Join this small group setting with 10 other children in the studio for 30-40 minutes of stories, songs, and conversation followed by small group art, sensory and manipulatives activities guided by an early childhood educator! The style of learning in this playgroup is "play based" - children will be learning through hands on, exploratory experiences inside the studio. Hands on art projects, music and movement, socialization with other children, stories.
Studio time is followed by playtime in the playroom, reunited with the supervision of their caregiver and time to play with their new friends!
Playtime in the playspace is included in registration for playgroups - the purpose behind this is to give the children more time together to engage with their new friends!
Children over 3, have the option of joining class independently (caregiver stays on site and are welcome to join if desired!) If your child is apprehensive about being dropped off, please discuss a plan with your teacher before class - we can create a plan to help ease your child into independently visiting the class.
Infant siblings are welcome to tag along with caregivers or sign up for a play pass in the play area.
6 week session: 30-40 mins of teacher led time followed by admission to the playspace - 150$ (Members receive a 20% discount - $120 per session)
