Mobile Infant/Young Toddler Play Group (9 - 14 months): Thursdays 11:30 - 1:00
This group is designed for confident crawlers as well as early wobblers and walkers.
This is an eight week play group cohort facilitated by Courtney Dern (of Beech Street Parenting) and Emma Koehler (of Twig and Branch 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:
1) Thursday, June 5 -- Emma & Courtney
2) Thursday, June 12 -- Emma
3) Thursday, June 19 -- Emma
4) Thursday, June 26 -- Emma
Skip Thursday, July 3
5) Thursday, July 10 -- Emma
6) Thursday, July 17 -- Courtney
7) Thursday, July 24 -- Courtney
8) Thursday, July 31 -- Courtney
It is absolutely okay if you can’t make it to all of the sessions or need to arrive late or leave early — we totally understand.
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.
The pace is intentionally slow and spacious. Toddler groups include a communal snack of bananas and water.
