Our parent preparation course is carefully designed to help those families who are expecting a child or considering becoming pregnant. This half-day course offers meaningful information about how to prepare for your baby after birth and delivery, how to create a home environment to support infant development and create secure attachment. This course recognizes the massive change that occurs when a baby enters into a new family and the huge shift that happens for the parents.

 The DVMS Parent-Child Class serves as an introduction to caregiving through the lens of Montessori philosophy. In a beautifully prepared space for children ages 2 months to 20 months, children are free to explore activities alongside their caregiver, with the guidance of a trained Assistant to Infancy facilitator.  Caregivers will learn how to watch and support developmental milestones and engage with their children using materials provided in the space. 

Parent-Child Programs runs in 8 week sessions, includes a weekly 1.25 hour session for your child and a caregiver and an evening zoom special guest speaker session. Printed resource materials as well as book, furniture and toy suggestions will be available at each session.

Parent - Child Music Classes

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. This 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, crawling babies, and walking toddlers) activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration caregivers gain insights about their babies’ unique development.
