PARENT CHILD PLAY & LEARN CLASSES ARE NOT MEETING AT THIS TIME
  • I know my child is bright and I want to be better equipped to challenge them.
  • I wish I had a small network of moms to better connect with.
  • I'm concerned that my child isn't meeting their developmental milestones.
  • I love having my child at home with me but I feel like they really need to be around other kiddos too.
  • I need more ideas and strategies to keep my little one engaged at home.
  • We are ready to enjoy new experiences together but I don't like the idea us being exposed to so many germs.
  • Parenting is hard, I have so many questions, and need to know I'm not alone.​​
Did you know that there is a direct correlation between strong reading skills and academic success? Most likely. But did you know the strongest readers are those with the strongest listening and language skills – those that are established BEFORE formal schooling begins?  Words & Wiggles is a higher level language class designed for children who are readily able to follow simple commands, attend to adult-directed activities for several minutes at a time, and who are putting at least 2+ words together in a sentence.  

Class Activities Will Consist Of:

• a variety of songs and movement
• pretend play and art
• literacy activities
• simple science projects
​• sensory and motor play
• and parachute play

​

Specific Brain-Building Targets Include:

• sentence structure and vocabulary expansion
• verbal reasoning
• making inferences/predictions
• listening memory and comprehension
• following multi-step and multi-element directions
• pre-literacy skills
• and social language development. ​
This class is created and led by a Certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS) who specializes in early language development.  

The Words and Wiggles Curriculum is designed for parents of all children who want to advance their child’s expressive and receptive language skills learning proven strategies and techniques in a small group setting.

​A driving principle behind every class is direct parent involvement. Each class will consist of a maximum of 6 children, their caregiver, and one SLP/LSLS.

​A social outlet, a play date, mommy and me time, mommy and mommy time, and partnering for accelerated development…now that is time well spent!
