What Your Child Will Experience

Play-Based Learning

Activities are designed to support development through play, not drills or instruction. Children are free to explore, move, and engage at their own pace.

Outdoor Exploration

Held in nature-based settings, playgroups encourage curiosity, sensory exploration, and movement in a screen-free environment.

Inclusive and Welcoming

All forms of communication are valued. Sessions may include gestures, sign language, visuals, and AAC alongside spoken language, so every child can participate fully.

Caregiver Connection

Caregivers are welcome to participate, observe, and connect with other families in a supportive, community-centered space.
