The DVMS Caregiver-Child playgroup serves as an introduction to caregiving through the lens of Montessori philosophy. In a beautifully prepared space for children ages 2 months to walking, children are free to explore activities along side their caregiver, with the guidance of a trained Assistant to Infancy. Caregivers will learn how to watch and support developmental milestones and engage with their children using materials provided in the space.
Caregiver-Child Programs runs in 8 week sessions and includes a weekly 1.25 hour session for your child and a caregiver. Printed resource materials as well as book, furniture and toy suggestions will be available at each session.
Parent - Child Music Classes
Spring Registration OPEN.
Along with an accompanying caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration encourages a child’s discovery of instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; and creative dancing affirms a child’s urge to move.
Parent - Infant Music Classes (2 - 12 months) - Friday mornings April 5th - May 31st - 10:30 - 11:15
This 45-minute music class incorporates current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement. With a blend of multi-level (newborns, lap babies and crawling babies) activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration caregivers gain insights about their babies’ unique development.
