Older Toddler (24-30 months) Play Group: Thursdays 9:30 - 11:00
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 & Courtney
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.
