sneak peek
Parents and children arrive and are warmly greeted by the facilitator, either Carmen or Justina. Your 2-year old takes off her shoes and places them ioutside while observing her other friends arriving.
Parents greet one another and find a comfortable space to sit around the parameter of the room. Your child is a little hesitant and sits with you for a little while, before climbing off your lap and moving to the center of the room.
Age-appropriate materials are thoughtfully set out around the room. Children are free to move their bodies as they wish and explore all the play materials. Lisa decides to work with the blocks, where she is joined by Adam.
Melinda wanders over to the basket that holds a variety of plastic cups and decides to dump out all the cups to use the basket as a container for filling other items.
A conflict breaks out on the wooden climber, as two children try to navigate the space and climb up at the same time. The facilitator observes to make sure that the children are safe. She steps in to help set physical boundaries and support both children as they learn to share the space and material. The facilitator works closely with the children to support their development while demonstrating respectful parent-child interactions to the adults.
Meanwhile, the parents observe quietly from their seats. 30 minutes before the session ends, the adults have the opportunity to discuss what they've observed. Each week we also take the time to discuss specific parenting issues, either raised by the parents themselves or suggested by the facilitator. Then the children are invited to help clean up and we say goodbye until next week.
