In these courses, parents or other caregivers have fun while learning the latest information about child development. They meet and learn with other parents whose children are similar ages.

Developmental Movement courses help adults understand the developmental stages of toddlers and preschool-aged children.  The courses include short lectures, discussion, observation, and hands-on learning. Adults’ children (up to two kids per enrolled adult) also join in age-appropriate activities.  This allows the adults to learn the importance of the developmental stages that prepare children for preschool and/or kindergarten. 

Class materials are provided for free with enrollment.
