Make the Connection: Birth to 18 months (Registered program) November to March
Every 2nd Tuesday 10am -1130am
Make the Connection Parenting Program is built on the theory that development occurs within the context of relationships. Thus, an infant raised within the loving and responsive parent-infant relationship will develop a healthy sense of self, confident use of language, and a love of learning.
When this positive relationship is established during the first three years, a foundation is laid for a child to do well socially, emotionally, and academically. Regardless of gender, class, or ethnicity, there is a wealth of research to support the fact that children do better in school and have fewer behavioral problems with this healthy start.
Mindful Munchkins : Best for ages 3-5 10am to 1130am (TBA)
Mindful Munchkins (ages 2-5) is a new program geared toward identifying emotions and how to manage them. So often we forget that our little ones don’t have the language to express how they
’re feeling,
so they use actions instead. This program teaches children about various emotions, self-regulation, problem solving skills, positive self-esteem and empathy. All of this takes place while developing strong and positive parent-child relationships!
