Encouraging imagination and setting a mood of wonder, reverence, and enthusiasm.
We strive to support parents in strengthening their parenting skills and in creating a healthy and joyful home life. We build our class community through meaningful, purposeful work that builds self-esteem and encourages mindful parenting. Children are invited to help clean up after our shared snack and are offered time for free play. Most children happily join in following the adults, joyfully washing dishes and sweeping. Then, creative free play time encourages children’s imaginations to flourish and cultivates social skills and problem-solving. By observing and/or participating in a peaceful, nurturing environment, both children and parents are able to grow from deep within, enlivening themselves and others around them.

Our classes are meant to create a safe community for parents and offer a quiet, calm space for children where their play is honored as work. Caregivers will be able to slow down, relax, and observe the magic of their child’s development in this nurturing environment and join together to discuss the benefits of family rhythms,imaginative play, loving discipline, and simplicity to help build and support your family culture. A simple craft activity will also be offered to compliment the season and add warmth to your home. No experience necessary!
Join us in a 4 week mini session where we will weave together work, play, story, and song in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that supports and honors your family. For families with children under the age of 2.
