This is an eight-week play group cohort 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:
Thursday, January 8
Thursday, January 15
Thursday, January 22
Thursday, January 29
Thursday, February 5
Thursday, February 12
Thursday, February 19
Thursday, February 26
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.
