This is a an 7-week play group session facilitated by Courtney Dern of Beech Street Parenting.
Classes are an hour and a half long and will take place at the Beech Street Parenting play studio (6017 NE Sandy) on the following days:
Friday, September 4
Friday, September 11
Friday, September 18
Friday, September 25
Friday, October 2
Friday, October 9
Friday, October 16
It is okay if you can’t make it to all of the sessions or need to arrive late or leave early.
These play groups are RIE-inspired spaces for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers to connect, observe, and grow, together.
Each session begins with an optional adult check-in, followed by a period of quiet observation while children explore safe, open-ended, developmentally appropriate play objects. Caregivers remain present and available, stepping in only to meet a child’s needs for safety, nourishment, or emotional refueling.
Courtney will practice “selective intervention” to help provide social and physical challenges that are within the child’s zone of proximal development.
The pace is intentionally slow and spacious. Toddler groups include a communal snack of bananas and water.
