In this series for parents and children (ages 2 to 3.5 years), parents and caregivers will gain an understanding of how to support the processes of early childhood. Past participants share that they treasured their time in our Parent Child class as a time of shifting into presence and watching their child explore with wonder and joy.  Together we will intentionally step into these mornings of gentle rhythm, one that can easily be replicated to help create harmony in your own home routines.

They will lovingly be guided through discussions about early childhood while the children are encouraged to explore and engage in imaginative play. This is a gentle way to support you and your child during these early years.
