Parent & Child and Parent & Infant Programs
Join us one morning a week in a beautiful setting that encourages free, creative play with toys made of natural materials. Enjoy a nutritious, homemade snack, learn to craft simple toys for your child, and discuss a healthy start for your family. Our groups offer a wonderful opportunity for you to meet other parents and caregivers, and for our children to learn to be together in a group in a warm environment.

Parent and Infant Group (newborn to age one) Our Parent and Infant Group is for parents or caregivers with their babies from newborn till around one or so. Come and join us once a week for a cup of tea, conversation and a circle of songs and games for infants. Meet other parents in a supportive environment to share the joys and challenges of parenting. Share observations of your baby week to week, discover community resources for families, and discuss questions about infant development. Available spaces for Spring 2024 Session on Wednesdays and Thursdays |
Parent and Child (Ages 1-3)
The morning begins with time for free play for the children and an optional toy making experience for parents. At 10:30, there is a song-led transition to tidy up and guide the group into snack time. This time around our table is also a great opportunity for parents to connect. Around 11:00, we clear the table, wash hands and gather for circle time. The circle includes rhymes and songs both standing (walking, hopping, twirling, etc.) and sitting (finger games, clapping, etc.). The songs are seasonal with home and garden themes, as is our simple story which follows. These stories are often based on a timeless folktale and are told over a period of a few weeks. At the end of the morning, parents and children have an opportunity to play in a natural outdoor space. |

“For six years (and 3 children), the Parent and Child class at Mulberry School has been the highlight of my week. In addition to much loved songs, stories, and free play for toddlers, the programming provides just the right mixture of warmth, wisdom, and wit to support and inspire parents of young children.”
