Early Childhood Classes
Early childhood classes for you and your baby or toddler
build strong parent-child bonds. Early childhood classes help
your child develop language and communication skills, physical
and social abilities, and become better prepared for preschool
settings. Parents and caregivers enjoy interaction and mutual
support as well as insights and suggestions from our professional
early childhood staff.

instruments using household objects and recycled materials!
