JUST FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS

Non-separating classes

Baby and Me

Babies bring joy and big changes to families. Join us for a weekly class for infants, 0-12 months, to explore topics relating to those bundles of joy! This is a relaxing class that also brings you information. You can ask all your baby questions and we’ll explore current philosophies on infant growth. We’ll sing songs and have baby play time. Sibling care is available, please request with registration.
