Parent and Child
Pregnancy through Toddler
‘Roots & Shoots’ parent-child circles are for children aged birth to 18 months old, attending once a week with an adult caregiver. Our circles provide a peaceful and connecting experience for both the parent and the child. There are weekly discussions of parenting topics designed to support and inspire your life at home and to deepen your understanding of child development.
Parents find a community of sharing and mutual support. In the toddler class, each week parents are invited to work on a simple handwork project, while the children engage in creative play without set goals, practice social engagement, and learn from daily life experiences in our nurturing environment. Included in the class are a shared snack, lap games, songs and puppet plays.
We offer indoor and outdoor classes. Our outdoor space is an intentionally designed garden offering a safe play space in all weather conditions for toddlers 15m – 2.5 yrs. Our indoors classes are for infants and moving babies 0m-15m.
